Just wondering if anyone has been through similar or has any advice etc. escaped DV early last year, immediately stopped contact as advised by police and social services with our 2 young children. He was arrested twice for stalking and harassment. Got a non molestation order, moved away for safety etc. A few months after we split he applied to court. We’re 11 months in to this court case now and it has stayed consistently no direct contact with children. section 7 has just been completed and it recommends the children’s current care arrangements should stay as they are living with me and no direct contact with Dad. He did not engage with the section 7 assessment. He has failed both hair strand tests which both came back excessive for drugs and alcohol. In December and March he was given opportunities for indirect contact sending cards etc but he chose not to. With all of these considered, me and my solicitors have filed my response to the section 7 asking the court to dismiss his application for contact with the children due to him being so unsafe and not engaging even though he applied to court! We have a hearing coming up very soon and I’m hoping this will be the last one, for my sanity. I just can’t bare it anymore it has been almost as horrific as the relationship. Anyone gone through similar id love some words of wisdom, guidance or just stories from someone who has been through similar and had a similar outcome. Thank you so much
