I havent been on here for a while as things were going so well. My son has been seeing his daughter at a contact centre, not ideal but better than nothing. But his ex has decided she doesnt want to go to the other centre that is available for them. No reason, just doesnt want to. We are waiting to hear what her solicitor has to say about it but he isnt being very fast about replying.
Now I've just found out that because my son has to fight the non-mol and then talk about contact, it will cost him £1200 to have a barrister and his solicitor in court that day. But as my son is innocent and his ex is doing all she can to stop him seeing the baby, I feel he needs to have them there to fight for him. I have to give evidence about an incident that he is being accused of as I was there. I'm not looking forward to that!
His ex's latest comment is that the reason he was not even cautioned was because he knows someone in the police force. Um the reason he was not even charged, let alone cautioned was because he didnt do anything!
I thought everything was going to well....
Problem is, she knows that by throwing accusations like this, it costs him money 🙁
If my son had done half the things she is accusing him of, I would be more than happy to pay for legal representation, so that he can see his daughter. But he is innocent, I know he is my son and I would back him all the way, but I would not back him if I thought he was capable of attacking his ex or cause harm to his daughter.
I have seen him sobbing and losing weight since all of this started so deep in my heart I know he is innocent.
All he wants is to see his daughter, if he never saw his ex again it would be to soon. But I am hoping by having a barrister he will have the non mol overturned and can start to rebuild his life.
I hope everyone else on here managed to get some time with their kids over christmas, its always a tough time of year emotionally.
thanks for your help.
