UD, as someone who has been through every avenue in the legal system, I can say I disagree with you.
If he sends her an email, he is not only pursuing, he is violating the RO which could land him back in court, affect his visitation with S5 and possibly lead to a penal sentance.
I know because my X broke my court orders continually for 2 years and the judge said if he didn't adhere to the order he would sentance him to prison.
He also threatened us with a section 37 care order on our children. An RO is a COURT ORDER stating that he should not be in contact with XW apart from to do with S5. If he breaks that via email, he is breaking the law.
It would back up what she has said to the court about him being controlling, and if he's asking for forgiveness, it sends out the wrong message of 'it's fine for you to take me to court' - IT ISN'T.
If this was plain DB'ing, I might agree with you, but he cannot approach when there is an RO, he would just be digging himself into a bigger hole.
In my opinion he should wait out the 3 months and then after the RO has been lifted, he could make his peace with her if he so wants.
Jo - who pursued like you suggested and got screwed by the courts because of it.
