My 10 yr old DS has come back from dads and is horrendous today! Hmm
He's kicking, screaming, trashed his room, he's screaming at me, I've kept my cool so far, he's having 10 mins to calm and I'll go back.
Saying he wants to move back and he's gonna tell loads if lies ad get me arrested so he can.
This I his second visit since feb, last time he was fine.
Dads promised them Disney land next Christmas and a new ps4 and a quad bike this year.

He is a very angry and upset child. Is there any reason why he has only seen him twice this year?

The visits aren't often enough and he is acting out due to the uncertainty (I am sure you know this already). If it's a more regular thing hopefully he will drop the disney dad bit and try parenting instead.
I had this problem with my youngest but once it was eow visits he settled.

Dad's choice and refusal not to see them.
EOW has been ordered at court (my application) and this was the second visit, he defo is worried it's not going to be consistent, just some of the things he says are so hurtful.

When he has calmed down give him a cuddle and get him to talk about it.

He is just trying to process how he feels I expect- missing his dad and feeling unhappy.
