Thank you for your reply i will keep you up to date regarding legal aid. I would of course go down the court route if i could afford it. But unfortunately i have not got the fees to do so. Also i dont feel able to represent myself in court ad i would not know how to do this or even what to say which is a little worry.
An as for my x an legal aid it appears to me she is still in receipt of this as. She got legal aid during the last case i am sure she will just use DV again for this case.
Thanks for your help
If you don't get legal aid, you could consider using a McKenzies Friend.
Hi i have been to see a solicitor today whom has advised me that i will not be able to get a PSO on my x partners partner. Also unfortunately i would be unable to get legal aid due to social not having immediate concerns regarding the mothers care. So i would need either my child's school to make a referral an then i might just be able to get a letter from social services. To enable me to get legal aid should my x take me back to court.
Just a little update for you all i shall await to see if my x continues this matter but i have been advised to stand firm on this an not allow my x is partner to collect the children due to my concerns and the concerns raised by social services.
Many Thanks
Thanks for the update. I have to agree with you and the advice you've received regarding not handing over to him.
