Contact stopped on possible ss advice. What to do?

[CynthiaRothrock]

Hi posting here for traffic and posting on behalf of my Bil. Need some urgent advice regarding child access.

Bil has court order for access to his son (9yr ol) for EOW end ans holidays. This has a Long drawn out process. Co in place for aprox 18months.

Today is his contact day and ex has not turned up. He had contacted her and she messaged him back saying "ss have advised me to stop contact". Nothing else. She will not respond or answer calls.

We have contacted ss edt, they took name and details and told him he (bil) is not attached to the child on their system. They asked for child and exs details. Then asked him if anyone has been bailed to his address. He said not that i know of (he has not been arrested but he has a flatmate who he is positive has not been arrested but can't speak to him.until later tonight to check) woman on phone then says it is possibly true she has been advised to stop contact. But wouldnt say why?? And told him to phone ss on monday morning.

So he phoned local police to see if there had been amy complaints made about him or if they had anything about his address. They said they cant give him any info due to gdpr.

What can he do in this situation? He last had child 3 weeks ago due to him (bil) been ill on last contact. Ex messaged him 2 week ago to ask bil to take son to an activity this week end, which he agreed to. There has been no contact inbetween. Bil is not aware of any problems.

Ex also has another child and bil is in regular contact with this childs dad. They have a similar contact order and do meet up so the children can do activities together. He has his child this weekend she has not stopped his contact.

Anyone?

I'd suggest he sots right and gives SS a call on Monday like the duty person advised him to do.

Thats what i have said but just wondering if there is anything he can do or anyone he can get in touch with? She has played games in the past both with bil and her other ex. She has been very nasty an manipulative- she told bil child was his then wasn't, then was. Then she disappeared for years, bil made contact again when he managed to track her down and she said child was his Bil asked for dna she agreed then didnt turn up. Took over a year to get dna test done. Bil is the father.
They got back together for 6months after dna test and she cheated on him and was imo emotionally abusive to Bil, dictating what he could and couldnt do etc. They split up when she cheated on him. Bil took her to court, cafcass were involved she accused him of dv, (i do not belive bil is capable of anything like that but i wasnt there) but it was thrown out of court. She said child was scared of him, cafcass said child wasnt scared of him. Judge told her to stop playing games and bil was granted access. Bil has had to take her back to court 3 times for breaking the order. She has done loads of other things and bil has jumped through all of the hoops she and the courts have asked. Now this. He is at his wits end and doesnt know where ro turn now. He represented himself in court as he couldn't afford legal fees.

Realistically theres nothing at all he can do right this minute or this weekend until he finds out all of the details on Monday. Once he's got all the facts then that'll determine what his next steps should be.
