Hi,
Hope someone can help.
I have 2 boys and have been in court the last 12 months as my ex applied for a contact order.
Currently me and the kids going to exs house for contact. I stay there too(this is not in order just agreed with me and ex).
I have been struggling with this arrangement for the last 3 months, due to the tensions it places on me. I accepted that it was my problem not an issue for the kids as such i have tried to deal with it.
I have now cracked under the strain. I have been signed onto Anti depressants, and my doctor has advised i can no longer carry on going.
I need to tell the ex this. So i am going to suggest he comes to collect instead. Now i suspect DC wont go with him, which is why i havent done this before.
We are back in court in a fortnight for a directions hearing. I am now having to LIP. Whats going to happen?
I assume a contested hearing? whats the delay on those? Will they take into account my mental state given i am trying to LIP? Will the understand why i can no longer carry on with contact the way it was? Im not stopping contact, i just cant go anymore?
And can anyone think of anything i can suggest other than him collecting which i suspect will fail?
Thanks
