Hi.
They are at our place and it's not ideal. He was supposed to get her Friday last week, did not want to go, as he thought he was being set up. I went. It is a 5-hour round trip. They wanted her to be picked up at Library instead of normal place. She was brought by grandmother and mother and said she did not want to come. Extremely surprising as we get on well.
I said to the grandmother and mother, well, I consider you have breached the court orders and we will have to leave it to the courts. I left. When we arrived back, my son had a phone call from his daughter saying she wanted to come and could he pick her up the following day. At the same time, I had a text saying that she was to stay at our house and not go to their place.
He is unhappy about this and so are we, given that there has never been any issues re his care of his daughter. She has been pretty ok but very demanding of his time with her. Not happy to be separated from him even if he is going to the shop for 10 minutes.However she is reluctant to go on her own with him as she as not 'allowed'. The court order clearly says that the parents are not to speak negatively of each other in front of the child
Don't know where this leaves the breach, but there are many others on which the have not followed court orders.
I think the easiest thing is for him to contact the psychiatrist giving him a copy of the GPs letter and asking for something similar. The Psychiatrist gave him a copy of his notes, but obviously, you would not want to pass these on to the mother My granddaughter who is 8 told me today that her Mother had bad anxiety and there was a 50% chance she would get it.
So that's where things are. He has taken her out a few times to films, etc/ but she will not go to their house.
