Taking child to shared house with unknown residents/airbnbs

Hi all,

posting on behalf of a friend

This is my first post and I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Brief background: Court order was made 4 years ago, giving visitation to my child's father every two weeks and every other week a midweek dinner. He was then local but since coming back from spending almost 9 months in his home country (the pandemic being his reasoning although I know otherwise) he had come back to the uk and the first month stayed with his friend, who happened to be my neighbour. He was round every day to cry on my shoulder about a failed long term relationship and barely spent time with our child. He has since decided to move to London and is staying in different airbnb every week. Today he insisted that our child spend every other week with him, overnight. I am extremely uncomfortable with this as our child doesn't know London and would be staying in a house with different strangers every time. He is not listening to reason and hung up on me. He wants what he believes he's entitled to. I am fearful for her. She also has not spent overnight with him for 3 years. I need to protect her and was wondering if anybody had any advice

Unfortunately a judge will deem him capable of keeping his own dc safe.
Ime. ..

I would certainly wait until instructed by a judge to send a child into that situation though.

Can anyone tell us where we go for advice about this?
