what is the law on contact orders for children?

I'll answer the last question first... no he cannot stop maintenance payments. Whether he see's the children or not, they are still his children and must provide for them, which includes covering the cost of food, clothing, education and the roof over their heads. However depending on your circumstances (new marriage, wage increase etc) he may not have to pay maintenace for yourself.\n\nBack to your first question, if he wishes to go against any arrangement which is already in place, and you feel that it is detrimental to the health and well being of the children you should approach either your own lawyer (or the court if this is where the agreement was arranged) and get this sorted under legal process. \n\nAt the end of the day though, the court will try and impose an arrangement which is in the best interests of the children AND which is reasonably amicable. You mention 1 night midweek is OK but not 2 nights midweek .. because of their school, you would need to explain why that extra night would be detrimental. \n\nAt the end of the day the only thing you can WIN in court on your childrens behalf is maintenance, no court can FORCE someone to see their children, I would suggest you sit down first and talk this through, and have a practical look at the effects of any arrangements on your children. And being practical does require you both to look at your working schedules too.

I know this might sound a bit odd, but what country are you in?\n\nIn most (all?) places there are local numbers listed on the inside cover of your phone book.  In addition, here are some national numbers:\n\nUS:\n1-800-999-9999  (National Youth Crisis Helpline)\n1-800-784-2433  (National Crisis Helpline)\n\nCanada:\n1-800-668-6868 (Kids Help Phone)\n\nUK:\n0800 1111  (Childline)\n080 800 13 2 19  (Connexions Direct)\n\nAustralia:\n1800 55 1800 (Kids Help Line Australia)

Not sure if there is an ACTUAL law but there are laws about children being seriously at risk of harm etc.  You would have to look at the whole picture.  How old are the kids?  How old are the friends?  More importantly are the friends sober and drug free with a decent understanding of morals, non violent, patient etc. etc.

no, according to DATA PROTECTION ACT, u can legally contact that person but only on the fact that he/she has ticked on the box for email or to be phone or sent postal mail..

I'd say block their number, restraining orders are generally only issued if threats of violence or actual physical contact of a violent or threatening nature have taken place.

what type of harassment is done ? in person ? on the phone ? there is not such order like that in texas. are you asking about a no court ordered no contact order or a restraining order ??? there has to be an assault or or some type of harm done before one is issued. you would have to have a police report made out and get a court ordered one . if the harassment is done by some one living next door to you. you would have to put up no trespassing sings or painted tree w/ purple paint at least 3 foot off the ground and no higher then 5 foot. run barbed wire around there or have a fence up w/ signs posted. then a CTW (criminal trespass warning) can be issued.

It depends in what state you live in. In some states like California it is thirteen. The child has to speak to the judge and request it. But, I would check with legal council for the correct answers.

The police are really good with this sort of thing.\n\nStalking is illegal. Breaking and entering is illegal. Harrassment can be curbed with a restraining order. What's stopping her... have her dial 911 the next time it happens.

I don't think there are any laws against letter writing.  As long as your not abusive, or do anything that can be construed as harassment you should be alright.  \n\nChances are that if a kid exhibit's poor behavior, the parents won't care anyway.

I have attended Data Protection Training today and i asked the trainer this question for you.He told me that under the data protection act you cannot be informed of the addresses or whereabouts of your previous carers as this information is protected under the act and is classified as confidential.He explained that on occaision a person has wanted the same info to exact revenge or harrass the carer because of ill feeling.I am sure this is not the case with you but as foster carers are agents of an organisation they are entitled to this protection under the act and anyone who submits this information is breaking the law and can be sued if damage and distress is caused to the carer as a result of passing on contact details.However i was told that once you access your files and this has to be applied for in writing and you still wish to make contact with your ex carers a message can be passed on to them via the local authority that were responsible for you saying you want to get in touch and then it is up to the carers if they wish to do this.I would suggest that you leave your contact details with a message with the manager of the child care team who you were under and ask them to pass this on to your carers.I don,t think you need to access your files to do this.Ask the manager to confirm once he or she has done this then wait and see if the carers respond.Be prepared incase the carers have moved and cannot be located this way but i wish you every success in your search.

CPS isn't in the business of enforcing court orders, the police are.\n\nIf the order is still valid, and your ex's girlfriend is not supposed to be around your daughter, then any time she is around your daughter, she is violating the order.  Depending on where you are in California, the police might have a few dozen better things to do, if you want the honest truth.\n\nIf you are an eyewitness to this situation, you can file a report with the police (who may or may not accept the report), or you can get yourself to the issuing Court and ask to be put on calendar for a contempt hearing, where you will have an opportunity to explain to the judge how the order is being violated.  Depending on your daughter's age, she may or may not be interviewed by the police and/or questioned by the Court.\n\nI guess the bottom line here is simple: if the order is still valid, this woman is violating it when she is within 100 yards of your daughter.  However, her defense (obviously) will be that the child's father has seen fit to allow them to be together in violation of the order.  The judge may not see it that way, but he/she would have to be made aware of it first.\n\nIf you don't think this woman represents a threat to your daughter's safety or well-being, let it be.

Criminal sexual conduct?\n\nWhat state are you in?  The laws may vary by state.\n\nThere are laws to protect children from sexual predators, but your state and the specifics of the case may have an effect on what you are asking.

I don't know if it is legal or not. It is however not professional at all. As a parent I would be going to the school board with this, as I think that a kid needs to be treated with respect.
