I have had family orders in place for 5 years - I have sole parental responsibility and orders include the OP is to have no contact or time with the children and that the children live with me. There is a history of DV and for the past 5 years the OP has had no contact, does not pay child support and does not know where we are located as we were relocated by a DV service in conjuction with FACS.
The OP has recently come into money through a family death and has indicated to apply to the Federal Court to instruct contact and disclosure of information on the children.
One of the children is now over 18 years and the remaining two are over 14. An ICL report was obtained from the children individually 5 years ago which disclosed their wish to not interact with their father and records supported the DV in the home that the children were exposed to it.
My question is - can he apply to the court after all these years to instruct me to 'report' to him on a regular basis regarding the children and attempt to enforce time with the children. We have had no contact for quite some time and the children strongly indicate their dislike of him and have no desire to reconnect - would this eventuate to anything or is this just another of his abusive attempts at control?
