I'm afraid that you are going to need the contact order to have contact enforced. I'm not sure how long it takes for approval to come through, but has your son considered representing himself? It would mean that he could start the proceedings straight away - it's worth reading yoji's guide to representing yourself (even if he does use a solicitor) at the top of the legal section.
