I'll try to keep this as short as possible as the story itself is very long.
My ex has served me with court papers last Thursday after I stopped contact due to him being 3 hours late returning my daughter when she was 6 weeks old and he did so in just a vest. This was only the second time he had had contact without me present. He has applied for a non-mol order based on fictious events of domestic violence, a prohibited steps order to stop me being able to take my DD on holiday without court permission, a specific issue order to get her last name changed to his even though he was at the registration and agreed. Lastly he's applied for a child arrangement order to reinstate contact immediately for 7 hours every Saturday unsupervised.
I wanted to get things sorted in mediation but he didn't show up on the day and when he tried to re-arrange I had found out he was denying parentage to the CMS so I refused.
I want to ask that it is granted that I have residency when I go to court. Will I have to apply to the court separately for this or will it able to be addressed within his application? The solicitor I have seen wants me to submit new applications but it seems pointless and costly and he seems pretty useless all in all.
Also, he has made numerous false allegations to social services about me which have been met with NFA, he has sent the police to my home for "welfare checks" on the basis of my anxiety and depression where nothing was found to be wrong and I was told by the social worker to contact a DV charity after he accused me of threatening to smother my daughter because "she looks like him".
In the acknowledgment form would it be appropriate to tick the box that I believe she is at risk from harm due to these behaviors or not as they were directed at me rather than her? Court is on Monday so I don't have much time at all.
Thank you!
