Thanks all The CSA didn't get involved at all, as there is a form to fill in regarding contact and the divorce court was satisfied that it was sorted amicably, which it was until recently!   At the age of 13, would my ex have to apply to the French courts for her to live in England as I am sure that is what he will do....regardless of what is best for my daughter! I will contact JAF and see what to do.

Clair The divorce was obtained by him in England. The papers I have say there is no issue regarding my daughter as he wrote that we had agreed contact - he is now trying to change this. They never applied a sum to pay, he agreed to pay it (having taken advice, I presume) - he has now withdrawn the payment for this month saying I need to agree to a new conatct system. I have paid for her to go to the UK and accompanied her, I am now not doing this as she can be an unacccompanied minor as it was costing me a fortune both in flights and dog kennels - he, meanwhile, can afford holidays abroad etc. I agreed she would spend 2 weeks with him this summer, he is now demanding 3 weeks, plus all Christmas so she will not get to see my family at all over Christmas. Thank you :-)

Sorry, little more info! He appplied for a divorce in England through the English system. On the divorce papers, he wrote that there was an agreement on contact which he is now trying to change. By being accommodating, I meant that I have paid for us both to go over so she can spend time with him and have always agreed to his requests as I think it's important she sees him.  He agreed to pay me a monthly sum (not much) which he has withheld this month til we agree the new contact requests, which, on an e-mail, he has written are non-negotiable.... Thank you!

Hello My ex husband now lives in the UK, my daughter and I have remained in France. he is threatening to take me to court over contact, even though I have been more than accommodating. However, would he have to use the French courts or the English ones? Would an English court have jurisdiction over me? If in England, would I have to attend with my daughter? has anyone been through a similar situation? Many thanks

Hello Clair Yes, it does include the dependences, the garden isn't mentioned but he told me to get the grass cut so presume it should be included! If the house comes with a cooker and fridge, can it be assumed that it is a furnished property?  I think they are playing games with me so want all my facts before I confront them! How can I find out what a reasonable rent for the property would be? Many thanks!

Hello I have a query about my landlord and whether they should be able to access the property - garden and dependences if I am not there and have locked the garden gate and sheds?  Obviously they have a set of keys that I didn't know about... Should they inform me if they are coming round rather than just dropping in?  Should they be allowed to complain if the house itself is a bit messy, not being destroyed or anything like that but not 100% tidy??!! Many thanks.

Hi, looking for a 2 or 3 bed house, with a garden, ideally with some storage space. Dept 17 near Mirambeau / St Genis. Many thanks!

Just the cost of the lunch if they are staying all day and that shouldn't be more than 2 euros a day!

My Sky+ has programmes recorded but it won't let me access them - only ones I recorded today and yesterday (ie 1 page), but it is saying only 36% free, so I know they are still there. I have tried turning it all off for a few minutes but that made no difference. Can anyone help?? Many thanks.

When you apply to do work - say on a market, the KBIS needs to have been delivered within the last 3 months.  Just go to the tribunal and ask for a new one, it costs a few euros and is printed off while you wait.

I have a very fruitful fig tree and am at a loss as to what to do with them... Can anyone give me any recipes, please? Thank you :-)

Hi How do you go about getting an ALD diagnosed in France?  My husband suffers from ulcerative colitis and had a blue badge in the UK which is about to expire.  He also suffered a stroke last year and sometimes has trouble with remembering words but that isn't too noticeable to people who don't know him that well. Many thanks! Sandra

Hi! Does anyone know of someone who can fit a power steering pump and rear shocks to a LR Disco?  We have the parts and just need them fitting! Based in 17, near Jonzac. Many thanks.

Hi Christine Is he still available?  He looks gorgeous - what would you have to do to enable him to go to the UK? Sandra

My husband was entitled to a Blue Badge in the UK and I wondered how to go about getting it renewed now we are in France? Can anyone help who has done this? Thanks, Sandra
