Currently he has no PR ( was absent to sign the BC)
Baby is 12 weeks old .
He has had scattered access since week 6 when I eventually managed to contact him for DS. This has now been stopped due to him turning up for access on drugs and being abusive.

What are my rights if I was to move away as soon as I can ? 100 miles ( 3 hour journey ).
If he applies for PR what is the process and how long could it take. What sort of access could he get if I move ?
I’m petrified .

My previous posts explain in detail .
Any help is greatly appreciated

He can ask the court to prevent you moving, with or without PR. I doubt he would succeed. I assume you are in England/Wales, and your move will not take you out of England/Wales.

PR only really comes into it when a move means changing schools.

In your circumstances, I would just get on with moving, so that you have famiky support (That's shy you're moving, iirc?)

If he applies for child arrangements, or PR, it'll be 2 -3 months before first hearing. CAFCASS will have police and SS information at that hearing, and at that hearing, the Court is reasonably unlikely to order contact unless you agree. S7 report should be ordered. Also hair tests for relevant drugs (not cheap, and someone will have to pay.) Specify what "drugs" you think he was on.

You need to go to court with a clear idea what tests you want, and how much they will cost.

Long term, if he persists, the starting point will be contact centre contact, unless family can supervise. Personally I think family supervision is the most stupid idea on the planet (excepting only having the resident parent supervise) because a) conflict and b) evidential problems if things go wrong : the Court is just left with witnesses all saying each other is lying, and no impartial evidence. But that's never stopped a professional judge, so it sure won't stop a bunch of magistrates ordering it.

After that, it really depends how it goes.

Thanks for your reply ! At the moment there is currently no police reports against him from me! I was too afraid to contact them but I did however contact my health visitor and lawyer immediately after he left and I was in hysterics.
I live in Scotland and plan to move further north of Scotland.
The drugs are cannnis only I am aware of.
He was initially getting contact 4 hours twice a week with his Mum supervising but he lied to me on occasion saying she was there when she wasn’t. I felt really bullied into it aswell.
