HELP - summons, Disney Dad and the new girlfriend

Help me - I’m in tears

Court summons has arrived

My exH works away and has never lived as part of a family unit with our 5 year old - always based in a different country although has occasionally commuted on the odd weekend home

He barely has a relationship with our son although does like the occasional selfie to put on FB to show he’s father of the year

ExH comes home to see his new gf of 5 months - this is relevant - and doesn’t see his child, sometimes we’ll drive past him and that’ll be the only way we know he’s in the country. Other times his mother mentions he’s been home and he hasn’t made any effort to see DC

New gf has met my DC twice and has now moved into the home ExH owns

Long list of reasons why my ExH is a wanker:

Physically disciplines DC
Has subjected DC to a random naked woman in his bed
Drives him with no seatbelt
Doesn’t feed him breakfast and makes him late for nursery
Swears at him
Swears at me in his presence
Etc..

I stopped contact after ExH threatened to “destroy me” and told DC I was a “fucking cunt”

Anyway - exH has now contacted a solicitor/court to ask for immediate 3 nights a week. He has admitted to me this is for financial reasons as new gf is complaining about the maintenance

My child barely knows this man and is terrified about staying with them 🤷🏽‍♀️

Will the court order 3 immediate nights? 🙁 My solicitor is useless and said “£900 for a barrister” and that’s about it

Sorry I forgot to add:

ExH has applied for a transfer home within the next 3 months and that's when he wants the 3 nights a week

Also new gf keeps plastering my son all over her social media and slagging me off Sad

Why would the court order that when your son barely knows his father? I say, let him crack on and see if he actually takes you to court which I highly doubt he will. If he does then unfortunately you’ll have to find the money from somewhere for representation. As for this being about the gf and her moaning about maintenance, if that’s true, do they/she expect him to live off thin air when he stays there? There will be costs involved and as it would be his 50% home they would have to buy clothes, toys etc. Maintenance would be cheaper!
