repercussions for ex court order is ignored?

It looks like our contact order will be broken by my ex-wife. She refuses to drop the children off for contact as ordered and because I insist she obeys the order she has said she will block all further contact.

We shall see what happens, but I expect to fill in the C79 within a few weeks once she has broken the order twice.

Does anyone know if I can apply for enforcement of the order to any court or does it have to be the issuing court? There is a court nearer to me than the issuing court.

Also I understand that costs can be awarded in these cases - what can I claim for? Court fee, travel & parking, lost holiday time form work?

Thanks

It would be a bad idea for her to block contact and go agaisnt the court order once the power of enforcement has been included in the order.

Contrary to what people think, if a mother refuses to comply with a contact order they do get sent to jail. It is a last resort, but the courts will use it.

I am not sure that a change of jurisdiction is a good idea, she might be given a lot of leeway by a new judge.

You can claim all out of pocket costs.
