To breach court ordered contact?

I have posted in legal but posting here too for opinions....

My ds father is being prosecuted for drink driving with ds in car. He was 3x over the limit and is facing charges of child neglect aswell as the drink driving.

Social services have told me that although they can’t tell me not to allow him to take him away, if I do they will look at my parenting because I will be placing him in the care of someone who put him in danger. We have a court order for reasonable contact but he is pressuring me to allow him to take him. Would the court agree that I am doing what’s in his best interests?

I didn’t get much response in legal

Ring CMS to sort out maintenance.

Write to Ex to state that under the circumstances (state the drinking 3xlimit) you have assured SS that you will not release DS to his care and as aside DS has been staying for the last x months he no longer would like contact to continue and that he is welcome to initiate court proceedings to enforce the CO.

Will he actually bother do you think?

I’ve told him tonight that ds doesn’t want to go and he seems to have accepted that

You have a duty to safe guard your child, if the social services see father as a risk to your child you should not send him for contact
