So bit of context me and ex broke up a year ago but still lived in same house until a week ago we have a 2 and half year old son.
She suffered woth post natal depression and I was my sons primary carer during the break up she was very domestically abusive now she jas taken my son no contact and saying it was me being domestically abusive how do I legally get any form of initial contact she is apparently exercise her parental responsibility to stop him from seeing me whats the quickest way to get any form of contact until child arrangement order would a prohibited steps grant it as its changing his routine and away from his primary carer and his usual routine.
Hi,
Sorry to hear this. If mother is refusing to allow any contact then unfortunately not much can be done than taking legal route to get child arrangements order. If you keep contacting her to ask about seeing child, there is risk she may apply for non molestation order against you (restraining order) that that can cause more problems for you. You can try invite her to mediation. If theres any evidence of domestic violence/abuse, that is valid reason to skip mediation and apply for child arrangements order.
