Custody to violet ex partner

[mum23xx]

Hi my ex partner is due to get out prison soon his sentence was 4yrs he is in for trying to kill me and got charged with section 18 , he did this in my home when my son was 4 months old , he is not on the birth certificate but I am terrified he's going to try see his son , I know he will have to take me to court and prove he's the father but would a judge allow him to see him ? He also has special needs , waiting on autism diagnosis but he is very high need and would not be able to understand who this man is , he can't talk or communicate , I really don't want him seeing him at all and don't want him to get any custody I am so scared , can anyone tell me if he would have chance of seeing him

I think you're worrying about something that probably won't happen. Is he actually really likely to take you to court?

He’s unlikely to get custody. He may get some contact if he does go to court, given your son’s high needs, the fact they have no relationship and considering his violent past it would likely be supervised contact, either by a family member or at a contact centre. He would then only be likely to get unsupervised contact if he has proven he can be a good parent to your son, has built a relationship and can manage his care needs.

Does he know where you both are?

I am still in the same flat it happened I have band a housing but getting no where with it atm . I have a restraining order and he's not aloud on this street . He's not aloud to contact me about him he would have to go through social services anyway . He doesn't know about his needs yet as he hasn't seen him and I don't post about him so none of his family can see , I don't think he would be able to care for him at all , he couldn't even hold a job down all he ever did was sleep and watch YouTube like a child , I have a partner now who's amazing and has been there for both of us and sees him like his own son he's amazing and they love each other so much , his real dad would only be a negative impact and then the worry about the fact he is a violent dangerous man and it would be unpredictable if he still wants to hurt me when he gets out or would ever hurt my child . I just am really scared I hope he doesn't try see him as the child would never understand and would not get looked after properly by him , his family are no good either his mum ended up with all her kids in care and not to be horrible but they are all tramps and don't live in a very nice way
