My son is going to court in 2 weeks time to try and get access to his child. He hasn't seen her since September last year. When he did visit, the mother used to put the child on the floor and then barricade the area so that my son could not get in to play with her. Once she started moving around, she used to take her upstairs for the whole of his visit. He took photographs of her barricade on his mobile phone which he is going to print them off to show the court as she has told her solicitor that my son is not interested in interacting with the child at all but that is not the case. He has also written a diary of events - when he got to hold and play with her (most times she would not allow him to have physical contact) etc.
How many copies do you think we need to get? He has got a solicitor but he is just about as useful as a chocolate tea pot. He had a solicitor who seemed really nice and who knew her stuff but once she took on the case, it was passed on to the junior. So now the junior is up against the mothers solicitor who is a partner. Don't really stand a chance. 🙁
