What to do next with my ex partner?
Answered 3 years ago
I can’t communicate with my sons father at all, there have been a few incidents and his new girlfriend keeps getting involved and calling me ect.
He is amazing with my son he isn’t abusive or anything but can’t pay child support and only sees him when he wants too.
What do I do? Do I go to mediation, family court? I just don’t want to deal with him and his gf anymore it’s so toxic.
Have an answer?

Mediation, set up a parenting order. The gf is not allowed to attend mediation.
As for communication have it worded it is communication with HIM
maybe email for small talk and calls for emergencies. Don’t block the gf s number incase of emergencies just don’t respond to trival shit to her, email him instead as response to any contact she has with you.
Stick to the agreement, confirm arrangements via email prior to his time.
Remember you can’t force him to see his child but if it’s set out in writing and he knows when his time is it helps. Don’t plan firm commitments for yourself in his time if there’s the chance he will let you down

No. Child support can collect payments on her behalf.

Drop the rope, if he doesn't bother with your child and is inconsistent, don't chase him.

The first step is mediation, depending on your ex partner depends wether it will work. It’s not legally binding but you have to do it first. If you come to an agreement at mediation you can get a lawyer to draw up orders and submit to court for them to be made legal.
If you go and can’t come to agreement then you will be issued a certificate to be able to go to court to show an attempt was made to mediate.

Go to mediation. Get a parenting order drawn up and hope he abides by it. You can also try a communication diary. Anything important you write in it and it gets passed between houses. I’d also politely ask that the girlfriend take a step back for the time being as you don’t want to communicate with her if she is adding toxicity to the co-parenting arrangements, block her from all social media and just allow her phone calls/messages when your son is there in case of emergency.
