Hi all.

So after a hellish few months of false allegations we have finally finished the IVO stuff.

End result I have a 12 month IVO and the ex has a 12 month Undertaking. Both have the kids on them. With family law provisions.

The ex has given me permission by text through the parenting app we use to call the kids on Tuesdays & Thursdays at 7pm. This was done during the interim ivo.

There are no parenting plans in place as she won't play when it comes to mediation.

Is the text message enough to constitute a"parenting agreement" for me to continue to call my kids or would it be a breach if I did?
