What do I do about this divorce - going through the courts is costing a fortune!

Question - (30 September 2008) 1 Answers - (Newest, 30 September 2008)
A female United Kingdom age , anonymous writes:

My ex husband and I are fighting over the courts re access to the children. Both children live with me and he wants them to stay overnight with him for Fri - Mon inc every two weeks. Ex husband is an excessive drinker and neither child wants to stay with him. Children have been to court and stated this and we are going down the Cafcass route. I have given his lawyer a statement detailing why they and I do not want them to stay overnight with him. Ex husband also rents house 1.5 hrs away. 3 weeks ago when he had the children during the day he told them he was no longer pursuing access re overnight contact. They were delighted. He confirmed this on the phone to them and has sent me 15 texts confirming this. Everyday i ask him why have I not heard this from his solicitors and he says 'it is in hand'. I have been promised a letter for 3 weeks and my solicitors have heard nothing. This is making me and the children extrememly unsettled because after 3 weeks I think he is telling lies. This has culminated in me saying no letter = no contact which has made me feel really bad but I am getting no action at all from him and I think he is stringing me along. We are due back in court end November for 2 days which with barristers etc will be in excess of £30k each. I do not have the money and nor does he. Do you think he is stringing me along and I should just accept that we will be going to court or should I give him the benefit of the doubt and keep waiting for this letter to arrive?

It is making us all ill and I wonder if it is some weird mind game to disturb me more as we are alos fighting over the finances etc.

A male reader, anonymous, writes (30 September 2008):

Your children should be made to see their father. It could be the fact that they don't like being disciplined and see you as the easier option, or it could be something as simple as you having a X Box.

As you battle it out, when the solicitors bills arrive, you will realise what shit youre really in.

Sort it out yourselves.

If your ex husband is particularly meen he could bankrupt you both, if you deny him access

Good luck
