Hi all, I'm new here but I really am desperate for some advice, so if anyone can help, TIA.
To cut a long, boring story short, my dd is 5. Me and xp split just before she turned 1. Within the last 4 years my dd has been introduced to 3 of the 4 partners he's had since me and he's seen her on and off, whilst contributing on and off, the longest gap without seeing her being a year, whilst when he did see her and could be bothered, he'd manage 5 hours on a Saturday afternoon.
He's now with partner number 4 like I say and has become a social drug user to go alongside his drink problem. Nice hey?! He's not seen dd since April of this year, after he declared in a text to me, that he did not want to see her any more and to never contact him again. I haven't since been in contact with him and to be honest I had hoped I'd seen the back of him for good. Imagine my surprise to receive a text from him last week declaring that he's been to see a solicitor (I doubt it very much, he's threatened me with this before) and he wants contact Friday to Sunday every week.
Where do I stand if he has actually been to see a solicitor? Will he get access? Considering he stopped contact in the first place? Why hasn't he asked me to see her again before going to see a solicitor? He's a no good, drug using, alcoholic low life who is a complete oxygen thief. He's pure poison. I don't want him messing with my dd's head anymore than he already has done; she's only recently stopped asking me where he is and it breaks my heart that he broke her heart

Please help me.
