Hi guys,
I've had a non-molestation order served on me, ex parte and effective immediately. It states I cannot contact child's mother and cannot come within a certain distance of her property, apart from when I collect and dropoff our child as per interim contact arrangements order.
It is full of false allegations and mudslinging, as always. My question is, whilst I am contesting, is it possible for me to also use this as an opportunity to counter? I have actual evidence of me being physically abused and suffering domestic violence whilst in a relationship with this woman, in addition to blackmailing me with seeing our child. I was hoping to maybe this could be used to finally get her to leave me alone and maybe have something put in place against her?
I assume you have been asked to respond to the statement filed by the mother?
Best to respond to each point that she has made in parallel on your statement and then raise any outstanding issues towards the end.
If the interim order for contact was made at the same time as the non-mol, both matters will continue together. If you were already in proceedings for contact, it's likely the court will combine the proceedings in to one.

Hi, thank you for your post.
The order has a hearing date on it for me to contest.
The interim child arrangements order was made 2 months previous to this, and I am waiting for the next hearing. This non-molestation order was then issued this week seperately.
I have pm'd you, hope you don't mind,
Received and replied.
It's likely the proceedings will be combined.
Get your responses in and let the court deal with it.
You can refer to evidence in your statement, attach anything relevant.
Best of luck
