Posted in chat so it gets deleted, as am posting for a friend. I will likely be a witness if this goes to court.
Basically, they have a child. Child used to stay with dad every second weekend. Lives about 1.5 hours away on public transport. Dad doesn't drive.
Contact has now been reduced by mum to supervised contact in child's home town every second weekend.
This is because allegedly.
At dads there is no heating, child sleeps on sofa with dad
Dad left child on street while he went back up to flat
Dad doesn't brush hair (needs brushing daily to avoid dreads) or give gloves/hat in cold weather
More that I am unaware of
On the first supervised visit, dad pulled at child hurting their hand, and pushed mums partner over. Police were involved.
Mum wants to stick with supervised visits until dad has a proper place to live and build up trust. Dad wants to go to court.
Can anyone tell me what might happen if this went to court?
