What is the general position regarding a non-custodial parent spending time not specified in the family court orders with their children?
Background:
The Family Court ordered that I have sole parental responsibility for my son, aged 12, and daughter almost 9, and that they live with me.
Orders also state that the mother spends time with the children every alternate week from Friday after school until Monday before school, except during school holidays where they spend half the holidays with her and half with me. Orders provide for the mother to receive copies of school reports.
The mother has for some time now also been attending the children's school for canteen duty, reading and sporting events outside the times ordered by the court. This is causing me great anxiety and stress because the mother does not accept the validity of the Family Court decision, nor the decision of 2 court appointed psychiatrists, the ICL or FACS. She touts that the Court decision was unlawful (despite having lost numerous appeals before the full court), and presents herself as a victim of a broken system and me as a heinous predatory monster.
During the hearings (now concluded) the court previously ruled that a school the children attended a hostile environment to me, and allowed me to change the school the children attended. This was a direct result of influence the mother had at the previous school.
My anxiety results from fears that the mother will again slander me at the new school creating a similar hostile environment once more. Ordinarily I would support the other parent attending the school and any other important children's events, in my case however the mother's unchangeable deluded view of the current situation and her associated slanderous actions make me feel unsafe and prefer to keep her out of my world as much as is reasonably possible.
