What would you do if you had an ex partner like this, who had virtually no relationship with your child and you had been court ordered to present your child for direct unsupervsed contact.
Verbally abusive such as screaming in your face that you're a fg ct and that he's sick of hearing about the fg baby while you're carrying that child.
Emotionally abusive...threatening you if you see any friends family anyone etc etc etc
Physically threatening (over and over) ..standing over you screaming, with his fists clenched that he's going to put you in hospital, put your head through the f**g window, kill you while you're curled up in a ball crying
Sexually abusive ..while you're still crying and curled up in a ball forces you to have sex
Who also pays nothing in child support despite being court ordered to do so.
Would you break the order and risk enforcement?

It sounds like you have been let down by so many people, the people who should be helping you 
Thanks Cherries so sorry about your friend and her poor DS. Its just so wrong :(
Yes he can be really 'charming' if he wants to be, but was really awful during the hearing, openly aggressive towards me, horrible attitude towards DS... the judge kept telling him to be quiet as he was 'damaging his case'. Its doesn't make any sense. Its like the judge intended to give him contact whatever 
Discrete the judge was awful. I'd go so far as saying he deliberately lied and twisted the truth beyond all recognition. Like you would never believe a judge would do that. I prepared an 18 page skeleton argument of where he had been factually incorrect, disallowed essential witnesses, used judges discretion with no back up and all the things he hadn't considered for the high court of appeal.
I was invited for an oral hearing and the high court judge basically said to the factual mistakes that there was no independent verification, yet *everything all the documents I had referred to had already been lodged with the court ...i.e the ombudsman report etc etc...then to everything else that 'unfortunately' the high court had to rely on the judgement of the lower court and that it would be heartbreaking for the 'mother' to go through and appeal and lose and so refused the appeal..but then went on to order that under no circumstances was our address to be disclosed. The other, lower court judge, has now retired.
imperial soon after I got the non mol I moved away, two counties, to get away from him and I've no direct contact with him since. I'm not on the electoral role and I've changed all my numbers and car even. He doesn't have our address and there was another order made by another judge aside from the high court that he is not allowed to find it. That was made due to his behaviour which he admitted to the police when he was arrested like he was proud of it.
But the fact find judge (now retired) ordered direct contact for me to hand DS over at a motorway service station :(
Discrete I'm just scared of doing that and the CPS not thinking there's enough evidence to go with it and him using it as another stick to beat me with
Has your ex got photos of the judge with a prostitute locked in his safe or something? That just sounds mad.
I know waffly .
I looked into judicial complaints but they're very specific in terms of the judge being racist or sexist in his comments, nothing about the judge making it up as he goes along... that would then be for the court of appeal...and I did that.
My old solicitor told me that he had a reputation for being a woman hating misogynist. How can that be allowed to happen.
Discrete I dream of that.
Thanks Cherries I felt like the high court of appeal judge did that to give us extra protection but just wouldn't go against the other judge by giving me permission to appeal. He also knew that I wouldn't comply yet said nothing about me having to..
I was supposed to be in court Friday, I obviously didn't go as I'm not responding (on old solicitor's advice)... not sure what else to do.
I've prepared something though for if/when they catch up with me, which basically argues that to force me to present DS for contact in these circumstances, is a violation of my parental responsibility to protect DS, and a violation of DS?s right to be safe.
Additionally to punish me, when I am just trying to protect my child and there is no proof that my account of the abuse is not true (plenty that it is) and that I am therefore doing any wrong doing in protecting DS, cannot be right.
I guess I just have to wait and see what happens next.
