Is there anywhere you find out a set of guidelines as to what you can and cannot do as far as contact with the kids and what she can and cannot get away with and how to combat it?
Its hard when everyone says you need to play by the rules when the rules get made up as you go along or change without notice.javascript:emoticon('Mad')
Mad

How do you kick a goal when the goal posts keep moving.

It's like the song " The Gambler " in many ways and yes the goal posts keep moving, the beats is a many changing entity that has a whole heap of possible solutions depending on what is going on in your personal situation.

Basic rules are based on prevention and preservation so they are not rules at all but rather choices.

If you have a specific situation and have orders in place you may need to launch a convention to further stipulate boundaries but if the contravention is too small you may simply have to record this and wait until patterns are formed.

If there is a specific situation you may need to generalize towards that situation being cautious not to identify parties and such.

all best D4E

The rules are included in the family law act. The trouble is that they are very vague and are open to manipulation and interpretation.
D4E is right on the money when he says that it depends on your situation.
It is important to remember that not everyone endures the nonsense that most of the guys on this forum have.
You really have to take an objective view for everybodies situation.
If you are near a dids meeting it would be wise to get along. Call 1300 853 437 and they will let you know if there is one nearby. If not you could raise some of the issues on this forum. There is a wealth of information here.
Hang in there
Chris
