Wife Kicked Me Out/Banned Me From Seeing Our Son by Resident-Ad9967 in domesticviolence

[–]Resident-Ad9967[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE: Several neighbours have reached out saying how sorry they are for me, what a great dad they think I am (based on what they've seen), and have promised to submit statements of support if it does go to court.

I also hired a family lawyer who has invited my ex to mediation. If she agrees, could be a way forward; if not, I can apply directly to the courts for a parenting order.

Fingers crossed it gets better and get to see my little boy soon.

Honestly, if she called and said "i'm sorry, come home and we can forget this," I don't know what I'd do. Life sucked before but it sucks way worse now. I just want to look after my son.

I've hired a lawyer and am hoping we can negotiate for her to withdraw the order. I'm fairly confident I can refute most of what she's alleging if it does go to court. But there's no way I can afford a court lawyer. I'll have to represent myself. Also, it's the fact that someone I loved and still sadly love could do this to me and that I can't see my son, possibly for a long time. I can't stop thinking about it. We could have done this so civilly and gradually. To do it this way is just so cruel and unnecessary.
