[Solved] Not allowed to see son.

My son has been denied access to see his son. Was married to the mother and his name is on the birth certificate. Child is 20 months old and he had him every weekend since he was born. She now is pregnant again and has a new boyfriend. Have seeked legal advise and thought solicitors was on the ball. Tried twice this week to contact her but no reply. The mother just says he isn't seeing him. He has a letter she sent him to say he could get the child every weekend but has now went back on it. Help.

Hi,

Unless he has a court order in place he has no automatic right to see his son, your next step should be to try mediation, if this fails then you need to apply for a court order, this is not as difficult as you think and the people on here give excellent advice about acting in person, the cost with solicitors can really add up

Hi there

I would advise your son to be very careful about trying to contact her, she could quite easily slap an injunction on him and that would make getting contact reestablished that much harder. If that happened, she would then be entitled to legal aid to pay for a solicitor.

Mediation is a requirement before court action can be taken, your son should contact a mediator, here's a link to the mediation service and more useful information

Hopefully they can get it sorted without having to go to court, but if mediation fails the mediator will sign off the form to enable your son to make an application for a Child Arrangements Order. If you check out the stickys at the top of the legal eagle section, but if you have any further questions please don't hesitate to ask.

All the best
