Reducing addict mothers contact with child
6 Answers
Hi. I have custody of my 5 year old neice. (Special Guardianship Order). There is no contact order in place, but contact is currently supervised fortnightly. Mum has failed to show on about 5 occassions in the last year and has more recently been arriving under the influence of heroin.
I want to reduce the contact to once every 2 months. I would like to write to her to tell her this, so sbhe has it in writing. I wonder if there is anything I should avoid saying. I am going to give notice of my intention to reduce contact and state 2 reasons why. The unreliabilty and the frequency of her being under the influence. Should I put in as much or as little information as possible? Just in case she takes it to her solicitor, I don't want to give them any ammunition in writing.
Any pointers much appreciated.

I have full parental responsibility and choose this in the best interest of the child. I feel it is best it is reduced but want to avoid any glaring mistakes in going about it.
I would see a solicitor but I don't get Legal Aid and cannot afford it. It is a lot easier for my sister to see a solicitor whenever she wants to as she has never worked.
