Child family law uk - how do I arrange supervision visits and should I?

[adelphos]

please help. last evening I had to call the police as my as was partner woke up our son, and dressed him at 11.35 pm and removed him from the house to take him to his flat, as I had told him our relationship was over. He said that he would return him at 2.0am. Of course I tried to talk him out of this, but our son was getting most upset, so I backed away. I called the police who brought my son back to me. His father is not physically abusive but mentall, and to use our son like this was just to hurt me, The police said that this would go to court, I work full time, I now have to find child care rapidly. My small son who is 6, wants to see his dad and is most upset. Do I allow him access to his son immediately (not with me abround) but do I trust him not to run off with him again (No my brain is screaming at me), but I hate to see my little boy so sad. I think I already know the answer, but just some common sense talk to me please ie. you guys. My head is all fuddled, I will call a solicitor tomorrow to put guidelines in place, the police are coming back to see me today, (thats what they said), Im not a ill educated woman, but years of being told that Im stupid ect has made me doubt myself on several occations, I have taken this guy back into my life several times, and this time it is the End. If he wants to be in our sons life, I assume I can arrange a supervision visit, I believe thats what its called, and how soon can this be done ? and how do I do this ? please help thank you so much.

Your son is the most important.Go to court explain what is happening and the fear he is putting into both of you.My guess is he will not be allowed access for some time.Secondly I would go to your employer,explain the situation and ask for some compassionate leave while you find a child minder.The court will decide what is best for you and your son,but if you can get a solicitor to be present to speak up for you.The police themselves will prepare a statement about the abduction and maybe contact the welfare services to assist you.Get rid of that evil man and take out a injunction preventing him visiting your home.Very best wishes and good luck
