Fact finding hearing - child access

So I've been in a relationship for a few ninety's and things are going well but just wondering if I should take a step back or be a little careful

Basically this week he is going to court to get access to child (hasn't seen them for 8 months) but it turns out this week is a fact finding hearing because of allegations the ex has made, he claims all are untrue and no proof extra but I'm just wondering if a fact finding hearing is just usual practice or are these only done when absolutely necessary

He claims he's totally moved on from ex and things were bad for while before they split but he seems to be getting really worked up about having to see her in court (maybe this is normal to feel like that) Also just found out this weekend that they were in fact meant to of got married last august, everything booked and paid for

As I suspected it is less clear cut
I wrote that to you since you were and have been emphatic about her being unstable and abusive
Your two posts today say something else.

Hopefully that’s a point for reflection on your part.Perhaps also consider what you write and what it just be like what it might be like for those that because they do have an “abusive unstable “( your words) ex really do live in fear for their little children’s lives closed followed by their emotional well-being and your own sanity. There isn’t anything to work with.

That’s not something you can walk away from and speak about with such a philosophical perspective as you now appear to have.

Well they always are to be fair because more often than not someone is being fed a pile of BS or people have an axe to grind
Won’t be the first time or the last

In any event the wheels were always going to come off these post given the wider circumstances
