Hand hold please, this will get nasty

[jayho]

My son told me his father physically assaulted him during contact. He doesn't want to go back 'for a while'.

Ex is EA, FA, extremely manipulative.

I've contacted social services and reported. They are going to risk assess, I think, and get back to me.

Ex is going to go bonkers.

One question, contact was court ordered several years ago, do these orders, like financial orders lapse?

I'm just so sad he's taken my baby, I know it's contact night but i'm here with one child and without the other.

This is emotionally harmful to the children. Speak to your youngest, get his instructions and then let ex take you back to court if need be.

he didn't want to go, school said he was reluctant but eventually gave in. It's harmful to both, elder feels abandoned

Here's how you apply to vary the court order

Just follow it step by step. I've done it and it works. Now is the time to act before there is a new and harmful status quo.

where was the elder one after school then ?
Don't let this happen, neither want to go after the maltreatment. vary the court order.

Thanks bib I've printed it off

School kept him and called me to collect Mix

Small is back home and very subdued
