Im waiting for SS and a leagal appointment, but what I want to know is can I get a restraining order against my exhusband to prevent him seeing his 16 year old son say for 12 months.
He is a drug addict, actively using, who constantly tells my son that I am shit, neglectful negligent etc. He glamorises drug use and talks about it all the time. I believe he is seriously mentally unwell and I have a wealth of independent evidence that this is causing my son harm.
All child arrangements have been voluntary since our divorce 8 years ago, he does not have the children to stay( very often) but sees them regularly as we live only a mile apart.
My son is anxious , depressed, self harming, using drugs, doing no school work and seriously fucked up. He is under CAMHS and a psychologist who would write reports to say he is suffering from MH problems.
I genuinely believe it would be in my sons best interests not to see his father fro a period of time... this is not what he wants and my exH will never agree voluntarily. He does not see anything wrong in using drugs.
What can I do? If social services recommend that my son not se his father, can I try to get this enforced? How? How like,y is it that I will succeed? I will try anyway as I truly honestly believe it’s in my sons best interests. ...
Thanks so much for any advice
