My daughter and I just had the third supervised contact session at the contact centre. The first two sessions were great and we both had fun. But she was unusually withdrawn during the last session which was concerning. I haven't received the latest supervisor report yet but I'm wondering if the change in demeanor was noticed.
I had asked if she was still getting her weekly guitar lessons and how she was progressing - she replied that she was going every week and getting along fine. I asked if she had been taught how to tune the instrument, but she said not yet.
I received an email today from the music teacher to ask for the return of the rented guitar since the lessons had been cancelled - presumably by her mother. I checked her attendance online and discovered she hadn't had her weekly lesson for the past 3 weeks.
I've never known her to lie like that, so I'm convinced that she was coached to reply as she did. I found out recently that her mother is planning on relocating to another area so I think the child is being manipulated to help to frustrate the currently running case. I'm just preparing a C2 application for a prohibited steps order to stop her from being removed from school.
I'm hoping that the contact supervisor's report mentions the guitar lessons conversation which together with her attendance record, may help to prove the child is being manipulated.
How much weight does the court give to such events that amount to coercive control?
