So I have court Tomorrow with Lo's dad

Well I got a message today from him saying he will be turning up without his girlfriend (she turns up with her every week, I assume he's doing this as I have a partner however he's not coming) as he now all of a sudden thinks it's "our thing" he still saying he won't pay for contact in the centre because "it's not his fault he can't afford to"

however he is now blaming ME for my son whimpering and backing away from him in fear saying I have done something to him or said something to him!

He is 18 months old and he's not even mentioned in my home or around my son he's trying to pressure for contact with just me and him and no centre but I'm not comfortable with this what so ever! The contact centre said and included in the notes that LO may not settle due to the 3 month gap in contact and he didn't pay for Mondays session making the gap once again longer than it should!

He's saying he's interacting with LO yet the notes from the centre clearly state dad stood In the kitchen area and watched workers play with LO, they prompted him to say hello, goodbye & wave, nowhere in the notes does it say he played with LO!!

I've been in hospital today having lumbar punctures due to neurological condition that I have which his time was believed to be caused by the stress of all this and I can't carry on like this!

Is there anything at all I can say tomorrow to try to get indirect contact or supervised still?? I'm at my wits end! And worries for my LO he has human rights to see his dad I understand however he has human rights to not be caused this much distress and upset in such a short amount of time

will these notes go to court? or cafcass..I would ask for them to be considered..

I have to say I would very much stand against you supervising access..If something happens it is your word against his and you will be seen as having a motive...

I wish you luck

Good luck tomorrow op I have been through exactly the same as you and it is hard but just keep remembering all you can do is your best. It will get easier.

JustMe1993 · 09/10/2013 21:58

Yes they will along with a copy of numerous messages where he asks should he end court cases etc.

I don't supervises access he's threatened to take LO from me and not return him so it's in a contact centre however he's now refusing to pay for any more sessions after seeing him once last month for the first time in 3 months

Thank you both, i just want this to be over with

Good luck with you court hearing today, I hope it goes well for you.

With what you've said it sounds like it'll go back to supervised in a contact centre. Do not worry, good luck!

JustMe1993 · 10/10/2013 13:24

We left court today with no contact to take place and no indirect contact court ordered only done if and when I want to. They saw straight through him and it's finally over!

That's good, your dc are better off that way by the sounds of it.

Sounds like you deserve a Wine

starlight1234 · 10/10/2013 17:55

glad it went well ...and to hear courts aren't just giving contact that isn't really wanted...

It is still a bit sad though that Dad isn't intersted
