Problems with visiting arrangements

Questioner

My children visit their father every two weeks in the weekend. This visiting arrangement was established by the court in 2016. Now I reported it to Safe at Home five weeks ago because my children said that they were being kicked, beaten, etc. by their father. Emergency help was then deployed. Now we have had the final report from the emergency help, and it contains advice. Some of these tips include: - It is essential that parents (learn to) communicate with each other in the interests of the children. - Advice to let the children stay with one parent every week. 'This is because the children need time to 'ground' - It is important that a case management function is assigned to the municipality, in addition to monitoring from a safe home 'This is because steps really need to be taken now in the interests of the children and although the assistance is voluntary, it is not without obligation. The last point, I know that it is 'imposed'. If there is no cooperation in this assistance, they call in the Child Protection Council. My question is whether the advice about week by week carries more weight than the established visiting arrangement of the court. The father of the children has sent me a letter stating that he will gradually expand contact starting this weekend (this weekend). Am I within my rights if I do not agree to this? Yours sincerely,

Lawyer

No, the court's ruling prevails. However, if you do not wish to agree to this, it may be wise to hire your own lawyer to defend yourself against it. Your lawyer will also be able to discuss the case with you in more detail and see what is wise to do in your specific case. If you wish, you can contact them.
