Scared my ex will return to court

[SiempreDot]

I got a barring order two months ago after repeated, vexatious applications to the family court over the last three years and two separate court cases in the last 10 months alone.

I have made a mistake and put my son's week holiday with his father in my diary for w/c 23rd instead of when he was actually going, which is w/c 16th.

My son and I are at the other end of the country and will be until Friday as I'm combining some work with a trip for us. I have offered to reimburse his father the money he had paid for their camping trip and apologised profusely for the mistake.

He is now saying he is going to apply to the court again because I've broken the order.

Given there's a barring order in place so all applications should be prescreened, what is the likelihood that the court will not proceed with an application?

I know a barring order is meant to be a filter and doesn't block applications entirely. I'm so traumatised from years of court that I just couldn't bear it.

You have not yet broken the court order, but he is clearly very litigious so will do as soon as the order is broken.
The mistake is yours and honestly I think in your situation I would bring my son home and then go back did the rest of the week.
Travel hassle yes, but much less hassle than going back to court.
Sometimes we just have to be honest about a mistake and accept the consequences.

Don't panic as PP says you have not yet broken the order. Personally I would cut your trip short and get your child to their father for the start of his contact.

I would travel back. It’s not just the planned trip. He made plans with time off work, etc. this isn’t worth going to battle over.

Have you broken the order? Does it say 2 weeks over the summer or first 2 weeks of the holidays?

Yeah you need to go back. Flip it and you'd be livid too. Start making plans to return.

Have you made it back ?
I agree with the others that it's the best thing to do so if you're undecided I'd leave now and go back after his dad picks him up

as above, go home now for contact you have not broken the order yet.

from his dads POV in his shoes I would be absolutely fuming, might be a mistake but its not okay

Sorry, I'd head back, even if that means having to do an overnight trip for you, with being able to get back to work. You accept the mistake was on your part, and his dad has taken time off work for this trip. Regardless of him being a twat, it would be a breach if the holiday was confirmed and you don't facilitate it, don't give him the excuse or the reason, when he's already difficult.
