Hello
The court granted a one year undertaking order to my ex for DV. No cross undertakings. No contact with baby for ten months since I ended the relationship. I stopped contact due to indirect abuse during my pregnancy and direct abuse to baby which culminated with me stopping contact when it was clear baby was being abused physically.
Throughout NMO hearing, 3 judges told him if he wanted contact he needs to to apply for c100. It’s been over a month now and he has not applied.
I fear he’s waiting for order to expires in a years time then begin harassment again
I fear kidnapping of child to his home country. I have child’s UK passport but he could get embassy of his home country to create one without my consent bc he knows people at the embassy.
His family have a history of abuse and violence (he was raised in a polygamous home. Dad died, 2nd wife said his mum (first wife) killed him after he was buried, his mum and siblings beat up his dads second wife and told her to leave family home otherwise they would burn her and kidnap her child). She went to the press to report them and there’s an article on line about it. It’s not in this country. Going to the press was a form of protection.
My question: Should I apply for a c100 and include all the evidence for DV to me and baby as well as family history and fears of kidnapping.
or
should I leave it and hope he either leaves us alone (unlikely) or that he should apply?
I’m asking for advice on whether it makes sense for the protective parent to make a c100 application to ensure that court involvement is initiated due to ongoing risks around kidnapping and possible harassment for contact after undertaking order expires? He will want as little involvement from services as possible.
