contact finding of fact hearing

[H2010]

finding of fact court hearing
Really scared I've got a finding of fact hearing next week with my violent abusive ex. He has applied for contact with my daughter who is 16 months old. He hasn't seen her since she was 9 weeks old because he was sent to prison for violence against me. since being released from prison he has done nothing but threaten me he has tried to kick my door down at 3 in the morning, thraetend to kill me and my family, threatened to abduct the baby and told me I will never see her again, stole my car, smashed up another 3 of my cars outside my house, broke his harassment order, threatened my mum, set fire to my mums property with my disabled sister inside the list is endless. He's been to prison once for crimes against me and also been given a community order, harrassment order and a restrainuing order.. All of these things have been reported to the police and he's got a criminal record as long as my arm since splitting with him I found out he's also been to prison for harrassing his ex and assaulting her brother. With all this happeneing I've had to move house away fromall my family and friends so e doesn't know were I am. Finding of facts next week so scared he'll get access to my little princess he only decided to apply for contct when she was 7months old
SORRY ITS SO LONG !!!!

He sounds horrendous. Rest assured if your ex has served a prison sentence for a violent offence against you and others he will be subject to intensive risk assessment. Only in about 1% of cases do the courts order no contact, yours might well be one of those, but if not the alternatives for safe contact include indirect contact and contact at a contact centre.

also all these assessments take time - has the fact finding already been done adn ahve you seen a cAFCASS report already?
if not and is just a hearing then rest assured these things take time - months.

and there is often wait list for a contact centre as well.

Hi Thanks for your reply no hadn't had a finding of fact hearing yet its next week and havn't heard anything from cafcass and yes he is horrendous think he's only doing this as another way to try and control and intimidate me.If he really cared about his daughter then he wouldn't behave in this was

Agree, these are extreme circumstances and I'm sure that if your allegations are proven, the court will only allow contact in very limited circs, if at all.

Not quite sure what advice you're asking, for though? Or just a bit of handholding?

Thanks,Ye just abit of handholding

Good luck! Sounds a bit like my ex

I pushed for zero contact and got it. Older dc tho, who made their wishes known too

hi,

i went to one 2 months ago and still waiting for a written report from the judge.my solicitor adviced me that she has not got it?
