Any move towards renegotiating the amount of contact you have with your children should begin with an informal approach to your ex-partner to discuss the issue

and request the changed arrangements. In the event that she refuses your request, you can seek professional mediation. A mediator is a neutral third party who

can sit with you both to try to help you to arrive at a mutually acceptable arrangement. You can find mediation services in your area by looking up our services

directory. The final option if mediation fails is to seek an amendment of your contact/residency arrangements through the Family Court. Be aware that from July

31st, 2007 it will be a legal requirement that all parties go through a mediation process before bringing their case to the Family Court.
