Child arrangements and prohibited steps

5 replies

Lucyloo1489 · 03/10/2021 20:53

Long story short I have a child arrangements order for my child to live with me and a prohibited steps order after being to court twice I'm fed up with being told my situation should keep going back to court.

Can I get a emergency order free if I have these orders in place and the other parent is telling child And myself I can't see them?

History of domestic abuse so can't speak with child's father and I feel I'm being alienated as child is very confused one min says want to see me next they don't.

After years of dealing with courts my main problem here is that the papers I currently hold no authority seem to act on them so what benefit will I get going back once again!!!

Any info would be great or ppl in same situation.

I have a child contact order in my favour and a prohibited steps order loads have happened over the year domestic violence harassment the list goes on. My son now 11 decided he wanted to stay with his dad social services got involved as I had concerns and his dad had told them I mentally abuse my son and i physically abused him this is not true and the case was closed my son has had a hard time over last few years with behaviour and I was being a normal mom telling him off taking things off him as discipline. He didn't seem to care and on contact one weekend decided he didn't want to come home and hasn't returned it's heartbreaking and I'm trying to make contact via social media now last night he told me he does want to come back home to see me but his dad is telling he can't betray him and he to tell me I can only see him in a contact centre now I know this is his dads manipulation and narcissistic side coming out he actually has no papers my son is only there bcuz he told social that he wanted to be but this is no longer the case and my son feels like he can't tell his dad he wants to see me. There's so much that's happened over the years I can't say everything but any advise would be great also my son has confided in me and told he is not feeling himself and wants help with his behaviour which I'm 100% supportive of but his dad won't allow me to see him to sort this out. Ppl will say it's a civil matter but I've been to court twice both in my favour never helped me one bit and I really can't afford to go back . Any advice would be great please

I'm afraid this is a civil matter. No criminal offences have been committed. You may be fed up with being told you have to go back to court but I'm afraid that is the only way forward. You won't get an emergency order as there does not appear to be an emergency. However, even if there is an emergency, the only way to get such an order is to go back to court.

What does your court order actually state re contact? Can't you just collect your son from school? Sounds like returning to court is the only way forward though in the long term

I could collect son from school but trouble is he needs to go back the day after which will just creat more problems once again.

Child arrangements order is that he should live with me contact with ex every other weekend.

And prohibited steps can not take out of my care.

Just so frustrating I can't do anything I could go court and on next visitation happen again. Which is why I'm so reluctant.
