Me and my ex partner have a court order for child access. This Xmas just gone our sons (2 and a half years old) was suppose to spend Xmas with his father. Dad collected him Xmas eve and drove him over 2 hours to where he lives..... early hours xmas morning I received a call and messages from my ex partners current girlfriend. He had been arrested for assaulting her infront of the kids, though our son was the only one who didn't witness as he was in bed.
Our health visitor advised us to safeguard my toddler and halt visits during the bail period until we know the outcome. Anyway he has been charged for assault to carry out community service only. He's now advising that he's taking me back to court as I am denying him access.....
I can't afford legal advice as I'm on maternity leave now with an 11 week old baby.
I'm so worried that he'll get overnight stays again and I dread our son witnessing that behaviour. His father his know to be abusive and was verbally and emotionally abusive to me but the police did not do anything about it as there was no black and white evidence.
Any advice would be much appreciated x
