I have a daughter who is 6 we had minimal contact from when she was born to when she was three due to breakdowns in the relationship between me and the mother from before she was born I was there when she was born but the next day in the hospital was not allowed to see her I went through solicitors to see her when she was a bit older and went through mediation with the mother and everything was going fine I was seeing my daughter for a couple of hours every other Saturday which was great for me then all of a sudden for no real reason the mother said she wanted my daughter to have a six week break from contact because she got upset! Why? I never found out she said that she would sort out another appointment with the mediation service to arrange something at a later date she is now six and due to me having 2 more children I made the mistake of putting off retrying for contact mainly because of the fear it would break down again and rejection. I now want to take all the necessary steps to regain my contact with my daughter so to have a relationship with her and not miss out on any more of her life.
I am just asking whether there are any steps or advice anyone can give me to proceed through proper channels to do this, I don't have parental responsibility and know that the mother won't come to any ammicable agreement as she is so stubborn what can I do legally without needing the permission of the mother for certain orders such as these.
Thanks.
