Oh sorry I should have said.
My ex partner wanted an order for overnight contact. Always had contact with her but everything he wanted in the order has been sorted since.
no domestic abuse or safeguarding concerns

Ok so I think what will happen will depend on a few things like how old your LO is and if you're BFing.

If you ask @MNHQ to move this over to the Relationship Section there are some lovely MNers in there with experience of the Family Court Flowers

If its been agreed since he made his application, the order can be made by consent and it will be a very quick hearing and hopefully finalised there and then
