Hi
I separated from my ex last year due to DV. We’ve been going through criminal proceedings and family court proceedings for the past year. He was found guilty at a trial and has been made to participate on a DV course by cafcas. Currently only has supervised contact with out daughter.
I moved out of our home that we own at the time as advised by the police to do so, there were concerns he’d breach his bail conditions so I stayed with my mum (he did breach his bail conditions and earlier this year I had to stop his contact with our daughter because of this)
I was told there would be a financial hearing by a solicitor at some point to discuss the house and moving back there with my daughter but the first focus was him and this DV programme.
Contact was reinstated a few months ago and stricter rules were put on the contact order by the judge. Since then I’ve had no issues with boundaries and him breaching the rules so feel comfortable enough to move back to the home but want to know how to approach this in court as I’m not being represented, what rights do I have?
We are not married but both own the property as tenants in common. Our solicitor who we used when buying the house has confirmed that we both have same rights to the house and to put a case forward that I should live there with our daughter as I’m her primary care giver.
Throughout the contact order there have been lots of problems with him being controlling, refusal to give me my belongings back, demanding money off me, locking me out our home etc and the police and CAFCAS have been involved in these issues.
It doesn’t look like he’s going to successfully complete this course in which case his contact will remain supervised. Has anyone else been in a situation where they’ve moved out but then been granted to move back in again after DV? My mum can not accommodate for me and my daughter for much longer, there isn’t the room and was always supposed to be temporary.
Any help on how to approach the topic to the judge would be appreciated?
