[Solved] What can I do about my ex new partner

Hi there and welcome to the site,

I'm sure your concerned about your child if this person is on the scene, has there been any sign of this person re offending since being out of prison?

I know the concern will remain even if there hasn't but not sure what could be done if this person has shown signs of change since his actions and prison sentance.

Visit the solicitor and see what there view is and let us know, maybe we can offer some further advice or answer any other questions you may have

.... has there been any sign of this person re offending since being out of prison?

It's only been a week, as I read it.

I would speak to social services about this as a matter of urgency. Also, as far as I know, if it's a life sentence, he must have been released under license, so there will be limitations or restrictions he has to adhere to - and since his offence included stabbing police officers, they aren't going to be too sympathetic towards him - might be worth contacting your local police and having a word with them.

sorry miss read that

I rang social services on monday & they wern't interested they said they would do a check on him.
Spoke to the police on Monday as I had text off him telling me to leave her alone & they would sort out letting me see my son at a later date, the police said they couldn't do anything either till there was an actual incident.

Unfortunatly this was my concern,

in the eyes of the law he has commited a crime and has served his sentence, we can hazard a guess that with the seriousness of his crimes it is possible that he will re offend but unless he has actually done so I would have thought it would be difficult for the police or social services to do any thing.

If his crime had involed children then they may have been able to step in.

I know this must be really difficult to accept and I'm not saying that I believe it to be the right thing, but the police and social services hands are tied.

Hi just a quick update I was told by my solicitor to ring social services about the fact my ex has been dumping my son at various places every weekend & her violent new partner
Social services done a check & found that things seam ok, but then told my ex to stop contact all together because I have apparently been threatening her, harassing her, malicious calls to social services and that I abuse drugs!
All of the above is false, she has even lied to solicitor about texts her partner sent me from her phone.
I've now been told I can't see my son & I have to go to court, my solicitor said I could be as long as August till it gets to court & they will ask my ex if I can see my son at a contact ccentre for 2hrs a fortnight.
I'm being treated like Im a threat to my son safety
Is there anything I can do?
I've joined F4J & families need fathers, I've got a meeting with my local mp to see if he can help or advice?

I think you're probably doing everything that can be done, but I'd ask your solicitor whether there is any way that you can get an interim order so contact can be started sooner.

I think my solicitor is not doing as much as they can, they haven't contested any of her aligations or for proof off social services, they're taking her word for it.
My ex has said that my home is unhygienic, infested with rats & mice. So she said i couldnt take my son to mine. Yet they haven't questioned if it was that bad why did you stay there all the time over the 2 1/2 years we where together.
Would changing solicitors be bad thing to do or if I'm not happy can I change, as we haven't applied for court yet?

Hi, sorry to hear about your issues with your ex, I am currently going through similar stuff as-well and have a court day in July.

Whilst there is nothing really you can do about her boyfriend, You can file a contact order at the county court so you can get access to your son. This usually takes about 6 - 8weeks. I haven't had my first court date yet so couldn't offer any more advice apart from KEEP ALL EVIDENCE...

Hi

Yes, you can change solicitors though there could be costs involved in doing so, and it depends on whether you have legal aid or not.

The first step though, is to to speak to the solicitor to ask what is going on - it's possible that there is work going on behind the scenes, or that they are waiting until nearer the time to cover a number of issues, but the they should be able to explain that. Ultimately though, the solicitor works for you, so you need to have confidence in what they are doing.
