Access arrangements for abusive ex

[Hopeful235]

Has anyone ever have an abusive ex go from supervised contact that went on for a number of years to going to overnight weekend contact?
Going through the FC at the moment, ex currently only has supervised.
Just looking for some hope really after all hearings have gone in his favour despite him being found to have been abusive.

I'm so sorry you are going through this.

It was a long time ago in my case, but yes, he went from supervised contact in a contact centre to overnights, but never on his own. He always dragooned some woman into being there to help. I didn't have a great experience with the courts. It seemed very biased towards the father regardless of obvious history of abuse.

However he didn't keep it up for long and soon decided not to pursue contact (blaming me of course when the fact was it was too much trouble for him and he was only using contact as a control method to cause chaos).

I don't think he'll ever give up tbh. He's had several years of supervised contact now.
I am just wondering what the end result will be.

No my ex has supervised contact than no contact, as in a no contact order. But what I would say is I think it's very unlikely he would go from supervised to over night. It's much more likely to be a slow gradual thing. That's what I would concentrate on. Not the end result but how you get there. X
