Hi honey from what your saying it sounds to me like 'if' it did go to court he may get supervised acess if you have children's servises on your side that's a good thing 

you will get great support her sure someone will be along with better advice 

take care x

he thinks he the victim cause he has had daughter taken away from him. he cannot and will not see its his own doing. a domestic violence team have been out to see me and made me realise just how much domestic violence i have recieved. phyically and mentally. i used to such a strong independant person. feel like nothing now and my little girl the only thing keep me going

Hello Jennyjj10 and welcome along. it sounds to me as if you have a lot of people and "clout" on your side, which will bode well in any contact dispute so sit tight on that one, and take advice from the authorities.

You have had some advice from the DV team, can I ask whether you have done the Freedom Programme? We have an online version on here for free, click to see.
