Help with family court with injunction

2 replies

chloeyaj · 19/03/2020 11:32

Hi everyone, really hoping someone has some advice or experience with this. I have an 18 month injunction against my ex partner which is up in July this year, he hasn't seen our son since it started, his choice. Now I've had a letter from the court to attend a hearing as he wants to see him. Do I have to go if I have an injunction? Surely we're not allowed in the same room? It's for previous domestic violence in the form of verbal and cyber abuse against me and verbal while my son was around as there was no evidence for anything else. I'm really worried and my son does not know who he is he's only 4, it will completely confuse him and he is a sensitive boy who will not want to be taken with a stranger. He's only seen him a handful of times throughout his life when he's felt like it and it's upset me that all of a sudden he's decided he wants contact as I went through csa which I have now also stopped. Please help 😣 I've just been made redundant, I'm pregnant and this Coronavirus it's all a nightmare!! Thank you in advance to anyone who replies x

You need some advice. You may be entitled to legal aid given that you have an injunction for previous DV. If not, is there a law centre or CAB nearby?

I can't imagine they would give him unfettered immediate access and I would think the best he can immediate hope for is supervised access perhaps at a contact centre but given your sons age it would be difficult to leave him

He can still apply to court and you will have to go. If you feel vulnerable you can ask for measures to be made available such as screen, video link and/or secure waiting room. Get advice from a solicitor.
