Karen, whilst we cannot advise you to breach a court order, what we can say is that it is your duty to protect your daughter. If you believe that the order is incorrect and contrary to your daughter's best interests, you need to seek legal advice to vary the order. With your application to vary, I advise that you submit as much evidence of your daughter's condition as possible and file some statements. If a cafcass officer has already been appointed, you may also wish to discuss this with them. I do hope it all works out for the benefit of your daughter. Perhaps also try to explore ways of communicating ideas to your ex on how your daughter's condition should be managed. Tactful advice always goes down better than accusations and criticism. Good luck Karen. Best Regards Harjit Sarang, Partner and Head of Family Law BEST Solicitors LLP Q. hi. i am in the middle of a separation with my girlfriend, she has moved to Portugal with the kids.
