It you lucky the hearing will be sat by a judge who can make orders for interim contact when matters are disputed.
However the majority of hearings are say by legal advisers who cannot make orders for contact where matters are disputed.
FHDRA can be 20-30min short and uneventful - especially it your ex refuse contact and want a section 7 report.
If you can, try to negotiate some contact ahead of the hearing even if it's minimal or supervised.
