Contact when Children live abroad

Hi

I don''t know if anyone can help but here goes!

I am a divorced father of 2. The divorce and Consent Order were done here and completed in June. My ex moved to New Zealand and my 6 and 4 year old live with her. I Skype twice a week but this is often closely supervised by my ex sitting just off screen directing what my daughters can and can''t say. More often than not the call is ended abruptly after 10 minutes. By the look in my daughters faces I presume a signal has been given. I send parcels out to them each month and I have always paid the correct maintenance on time every month.

I haven''t seen my daughters in person for three years. After the divorce went through and finally free from the shackles of astronomical legal costs, I started asking my ex for dates that I could go and see my daughters. This was difficult with her rebuffing slots until she said I could do a weekend in spring 2016. I have booked the flights and am going to visit NZ for the weekend in early next year.

Since I have booked these flights and hotel (£1000 and rising), I have received further contact via email from my ex. She states that she wants contact to be supervised when I come over.

I have tried to contact supervision centres in NZ but there are no replies to any of my emails.

There was no violence or substance abuse in our marriage. There is nothing that would say that supervision is necessary. I am happy just to have my daughters for a couple of afternoons for the weekend when I''m out there as I arrive on Friday and leave again on Monday. There is a comsent order in place but no provisions as to contact.

Basically is/has anyone been in this position? I have no one in NZ who I would say is on my side so would appreciate some advice if anyone has any.

Thanks

I will send you a PM.
