Hi, I have a beautiful 2 year old boy, we bonded straight away and were inseparable, in January 2015 His mother and I decided to end our 4 year relationship as it had broken down, she always promised she would never stop me from seeing our son but since February 6th 2015 I have been fighting to see my son and to stop him being used as a weapon in this personal vendetta against me,
I have my day in court on 20th May and have spent over £3,000 to get to this point but I am now struggling, I am not entitled to legal aid but my sons mother is and doesn't have to pay a penny as she has claimed she's been the victim of domestic violence, which after some research I have noticed is quite common in custody battles, I would never EVER hurt my childs mother and these claims have hurt and upset me just as much as losing time with my son has, I just want a quick and peaceful resolution to this and be an active part in my sons life.
Hi There,
Welcome to the forum
Sorry to hear what you have been through it is all too common I'm afriad, I have edited your post to remove personal details such as names this forum fully open to everyone and if your ex or family stumbled accross your post it could make life harder, you may want to change your profile image too, I have also removed the link for your fund raising page as not sure it would be allowed within the rules of the site.
We are able to support you with advice and guidence throughout your battle so please just ask if you need anything.

Hey LovingDad88,
You've definitely come to the right place.
Sorry to hear you're going through all that [censored], sounds very similar to a lot of other dads on here.
Hi there and welcome to the forum
When a person is claiming legal aid for a family law case where there has been domestic violence, they have to be able to prove it, through police reports, Medical reports or proof from a woman's refuge. A person can't just say they've be a victim and automatically get legal aid.
Anyway good luck for 20th May and if there's something you're not sure about just post in the Legal Eagle section and someone will be along to help.
Hey and welcome to the forum 🙂
It comes as a massive shock to the system when you're thrust into the courts and there's claims of DV ect nothing quite prepares you for it!
Try not to worry the courts have seen this a million times over all the lies ect will come out in the wash just keep your cool and focus on your boy, we're all here for help advice and support so good luck for the 20th 🙂
