Prohibited steps order and pregnant

[Coconutstar]

My ex has taken a prohibited steps order out on me which is in temporarily until final hearing. I only want to move 15 miles away, but he’s refusing to agree to it because of my son’s school. I’ve just found out I’m pregnant with my new partner and we really want to move in together as his house is fully paid for and i don’t own mine. I need some advice on this please! I would never stop him from seeing his son!

I would never stop him from seeing his son!

Is meaningless without knowing the practicalities

How long in travel time is 15 miles from where your son's father lives? Do you drive? Does your son's father drive?

What are your arrangements for your joint son's shared care?

Why can't your partner move in with you? How long does 15 miles take is it driving or train or bus or what. How often does dad have custody?

Your partners house being fully paid for should have nothing to do with the decision. Your child needs to see dad as long as dad isn't a dickhead.

you just need to lay out the plan for why the move doesn’t impact the relationship between father and son. Can the parenting schedule stay the same? Are you expecting dad to have a ridiculous commute to get son to school? Adding in the baby, are you going to be reluctant to transport your son back and forth with a newborn and try to lean more on your son’s dad?

It literally takes like 25 minutes from his dad’s house. I live in rented where the tenancy will be up in a year unless I gave notice so it makes sense to move into a house already paid for. My son’s dad is really controlling but I move past it. The arrangement is in where it’s more or less every other weekend and a day in the week. We both drive and the commute isn’t bad at all. I won’t be expecting his dad to do more as I have my partner and a support network.

Will you be expecting his dad to do that drive for pick up/drop off’s? If no now, would this expectation change with a newborn?

No I can drive and if it meant for my son to still see his dad I would be more than happy to do the drive as it really does not take long at all.
