Can someone advise what i can do?

Question

hi, iam goin thru a contact issue with my ex-husband. He is mentally unstable, and has a violent temper too. he already lost it with my son when he was 9 weeks old old shouting and screaming at him punching the bed etc, all because he wee'd without his nappy on. Obviously because we were married, he has parental responsibility and therfore has rights. my solicitor has offered 1 hour per week in contact centre for 6 weeks which i think he has accepted. i am really scared tho what will happen after that? i really am worried about my son's welfare if he gets to take him on his own. is there any way i can stop this? it seems to be just a game to him to get at me. he didnt even get my son a card or anything at all for his 1st birthday and has never even asked how he is!! what can i do? i really dont want him having contact at all, he also has a drink and drug problem. and talks to himself all the time. please can someone help

Answer 1

You can involve ACS and express your concern and they will give him supervised visits. Remember that this is your son and he depends on his mother to care for him. I also think that he should get help for his temper if he lost it at 9weeks imagine when he is older. Good luck and God bless you. Let me know how it turns out.

Answer 2

Yes there is something you can do. First, you must have a lawyer or a social worker and they need to know all the facts on the ex!

You can then "show cause" and he would have ONLY supervised visits for 1-2 hours. No overnight, and I encourage you to stay up on this issue so your son does not become an object of destruction!. You son can be hurt both mentally and physically if you don't.
