I am nanna to a 7 year old girl who's mother has broken numerous court orders allowing my son contact. Even when she does deign to allow contact it is usually on her terms and subject to disruption. For instance, the mother stipulates unreasonable times of collection meaning my grandaughter would have to travel late at night or during the early hours. During phone contact the mother's voice is ever present and she has been heard correcting my grandaughter when she asks when she is going to see her father again. My son has been left stranded and out of pocket miles from home without the train fare back; my grandaughter has been snatched away by her mother at times of contact. The mother conducts inappropriate conversations in front of her daughter denigrating my son. I could go on...To cap it all the mother has forged my son's signature in order to obtain a change of name deed in respect of my grandaughter.
How do seperated partners or divorced members cope with this sort of scenario and do you think the courts should impose some sort of penalty for parents who fail to keep reasonable contact running smoothly? In the UK and Ireland custody is generally given to the mother who in some cases refuses point blank to fascilitate contact between father and child. Not that I believe all men are blameless but neither are some mothers.
