in thinking that he's representing himself?

[heislost]

Posted a few times about leaving my abusive ex partner. He's done some pretty nasty things and I've been advised by many (professionals) to stay away from him with my young baby.

I've heard through the grapevine (reliable grapevine!) that he's waiting for a court date to sort out visitation.

I've had no warning of this, and no letter from his solicitor. Does this sound right? AIBU in thinking that he might just be representing himself? AIBU to be unbelievably nervous about it all?

The last few weeks without him in our lives has been bliss (Bar the abusive messages).

Can he just apply to court and get a date just like that?

Anybody?

I didn’t want to read and run I have no real advice on what your ex has done and if he can do that because I don’t know how it all works sorry.

I think you'll be notified by the courts.

I don’t know, but I’d guess that you would need to be informed as it involves you. I’m sure someone will post soon with some real knowledge.

Try & get yourself a good solicitor, if your are on a low income & have evidence of abuse you may qualify for legal aid. If you get it, ask for a barrister in court, they will tie your ex in knots if he is self representing.
