Hey there,
As above, the judge showed dismay to my solicitor because the schedule in an existing parenting agreement is more or less being followed, despite the amount of conflict involved in defending it.
He indicated he was likely to not agree to issuing an order, but scheduled a first hearing regardless and requested I submit a position statement.
My interest in the order is due to ongoing influence from extended family and almost monthly conflict over care arrangements for my son, of which I currently enjoy 50% custody, but only informally.
There was a history of domestic abuse on both sides, but the application ticked [x] no to the domestic abuse box. I have written a draft position statement that alleges coercive control coming from the mother's extended family. Is there anything else I can do without completely burying the mother to push a judge towards issuing an order?
I just want some sense of safety around my time with my son, and subsequently the ability to plan for events without worrying about some explosion from the mother disrupting our life
