Basically what the title says, has anyone had any experience with this? Any advice?
I have a court hearing next Thursday and want to be as prepared as possible. I don't have the funds for a solicitor so I'm going it alone
Little background basically my ex was abusive but only towards me and mainly emotionally/financially only at the end when he shoved me i called it a day and got him arrested.
He's a volatile character with no stop button angers incredibly easily and loses control with no warning. However he has never hurt or threatened to hurt our child.
The reason I'm seeking the order is although he has never done anything to DC he obviously has to me and in DC's presence.
He was an utterly useless father never did anything with DC claimed he wouldn't go to bed for him wouldn't eat for him and if I ever asked him to look after him whilst I had a shower/made lunch etc he would plonk him down ignore him and watch tv/play on his phone.
Ex is telling CAFCASS I abuse DC I od him on calpol and can't cope as a mother....which is utter bull. He has also made the effort to see him a total of 5 times in three months, and is not paying maintenance or contributing financially in any way.
I should also mention DC is 1 years old.
