Mediation?

My little boy is 2.5 years old, me and his biological father split when I was 5/6 weeks pregnant. I didn’t see him throughout the pregnancy at all and the only time he ever saw our son was when he was 3 months old and we haven’t seen him since that one time.

Should I take him to mediation to get him to be involved in my son’s life or leave it?

I don't think that's what Mediation is for. It's for when you have a dispute such as the frequency or timing of contract or arrangements for maintenence etc.

If he doesn't want to have contact there is no point forcing him. It's his choice sadly. All you do is make sure your son is available and you have done nothing wrong.

If your son later asks to see his dad I would let him know but ultimately his relationship with him is his business.

Is he on the birth certificate and does he pay maintenance?

Ah okay thank you @bertiebotts .. yeah I know, I just have never understood how he met him and then never sees him again :/ all I wanted for my boy was a complete family and if that doesn’t work at least to see him but his bio father says no. 😣

@BertieBotts I’ve never stopped him seeing my son, never would, he’s not on the birth certificate because he wasn’t around when I wanted to register him and he pays on/off by deduction of earnings order (job hopper)
