Hi,
Currently approaching the final stage of the divorce proceedings.
Both my ex and I, together with my child, is still living in the same house. My child is refused to engage with me as he has blamed me for initiating the divorce proceedings so in terms of communication, I will be texting him and brief chat when he pops downstairs for his dinner.
Ex has now accused me of child neglect and reported me to socia services. He is keen to have me removed from the house. He claimed that I did not care about my son's education, well-being and care.
I believe the financial motive is behind this accusation- he has recently lost his job (allegedly by a police report that I filed against him) and was keen to stay in the house. He has blamed me for him losing and job plus significant litigation fees from the financial court proceedings.
I have not been approached by the socia services but have contacted them to confirm an active case has lodged against my son, pending social worker.
This is a brand new minefield for me as I have never had any dealings with Police and Social Services. Very distressing and upsetting.
I struggle to locate physical evidence, except messages and emails to my son or his school that shows that I am actively involved in his life. I make sure there's food and water in the house, clothes and shoes, ask him to attend counselling or whether he likes to chat constantly.
Anybody can provide insight on what should I do to protect my position now?
