Proposing make-up contact without pressure

The purpose of the message

The goal is not to prove fault. The goal is to check whether you can calmly agree on another time, in the child's best interest.

A simple structure

1. Name what happened.
2. Propose two times.
3. Write that you care about a solution without conflict.
4. Do not judge the other parent.

Example

"The contact scheduled for [date] at [time] did not take place. Please let me know whether we can calmly arrange another time, so that the child does not lose the chance to spend time together. I suggest [time 1] or [time 2]."

A practical note

If contact is set out in detail by a court, check whether proposing another time is in line with the document, or consult a lawyer about it.
