CAO advice

Looking for some advice please- very anxious.

At final hearing with ex and unclear what contact will look like.

We both have children from previous relationships. His older (high school) mine very young. Ex has never met DC- now 16 weeks.

I relocated to be near family when 20weeks pregnant following months of ex's abusive behaviour. My oldest DCs dad barely sees her and therefore didn't object to the move (took him months to realised it had happened).

TLDR: I fell pregnant and within weeks found out he had an entire other family in a nearby city. His behaviour spiralled from that point. I was advised by HV to flee so did.

I now live 450 miles away in familt home with my 2 very young children who adore each other. Ex is now seeking contact.

What could that possibly look like? Would a court separate siblings?
I'm v concerned about him being around me and either child. Understand DC needs to know who his dad is but can't be to the detriment of his relationship with his sibling and he's so little he can't travel very far in the car.

Solicitor has been unhelpful advising what's reasonable in terms of CAO in this situation so any advice would be very helpful!
