Ex lies about seeing our son for houseing

[Buzlightyear1]

Can some one please help me. I left abusive drug adficted ex last year . We have a son 3.5 who he is allowed to see only supervised by myself . This is recommended by social services never been to court . He is in a house for probation after mugging someone. Obviously shows what a horrible nasty person he is. Any way now he is looking at being moved to normal housing he is saying he is going to say he has 50/50 custody of our son as the will enable him to get a bigger place. What should I do obviously this is untrue , I will never allow him unsupervised accesses and I certainly won’t be letting him have over nights. Due to his pervious behaviour.

Can any one please tell me what I should do ? Who do I talk to? The social worker was amazing only involved due to me calling the police on him? As he was using drugs infront of our baby. She helped me as I’m disabled get my home safe for myself to live as independent as possible . We are now discharged from social but I’m woundering if I should speak to them ?

I wouldn't worry about it too much, if he's going to attempt housing fraud that's his issue.

Strongly doubt he'll get anywhere with it in any case, they probably won't just take his word for it.

Thank you for your reply. I think you are probably right. He just always manages to get away with everything. Luckily it’s not really my problem any more. I just worry incase it affects me in any way. But I do. Have all my paperwork from social services as well. Thank uou

I assume he needs proof such as a court order etc. Let him carry on and just keep doing as you are.

He won’t get very far trying to con the housing department and even if he does, it won’t effect you or your child really.

As an aside, I’m horrified that your social worker advised you to supervise the time your abusive ex spends with your child! You shouldn’t have been put in that situation.

Try them if you think it would help but otherwise I think it’s the council housing department and state that you believe that he either has or intends to commit fraud which will defraud the council.

Assuming you mean social housing through the local authority?
In most cases in order to qualify for an additional bedroom for a child you have to provide evidence that the child resides with you (court order) or proof of child benefit.

So long as the local authority are being thorough with their checks he won't get anywhere lying.
