About to get to final hearing with my abuser ex.

He has only had supervised contact in a contact centre for years.

I've just seen his position statement and he's requesting stepped contact that eventually leads to shared care. He's made out he played an active role in our daughters life before the separation.

He didn't. Its all lies.

I feel scared. I don't know what will happen. I've always been primary carer and our daughter has always lived with me...

Tell only the truth. If he has told a lie, point out in a non-emotional way that it's not correct. Pause before responding to any comments/questions, take the emotion out of it, and centre everything around your DD's welfare.

Good luck

Agree with @EvenMoreFuriousVexation , it’s not easy to stay calm when they lie through their teeth but essential that you do.
Take a notepad and pens so you can jot anything down you want to point out is incorrect.
Take notes with you of anything you want to say.

Good luck.
