Meandmygirl... You might wanna start your own thread with your question. But I'll give you an answer and then you can get all abusive. Let me start by noting this thread was started by a bloke wanting advice on how to get to see their kid. Your contribution is to ask a question about how to prevent a dad seeing their kid? I mean this with the upmost respect... WTF?
Firstly, NSW? QLD? Doesn't matter the family law act is a federal piece of legislation. It applies the same in all states.
If there is an established history of child abuse or allegations of child abuse then supervision could be ordered. Dad might have to accept supervision if that is all you're prepared to offer in the interim, until a judge can make a final order....
If the father has not had contact for 4 months and it is because he has been in rehab or jail... The supervision would be reasonable.
If on the other hand dad hasn't seen the kid in 4 months because mum is doing all she can to prevent access, well, that is a different story. Just a casual observation, parents leave kids in child care centres etc with total strangers.... But somehow doing the same with the father is a problem?
Look one parent can absolutely use the court system to prevent the other parent seeing their kid. But surely, a better option would be to find a compromise... Leave the kid with dad for 2 hours.... Then 4 hours.... etc etc. If your argument is dad cant see the kid because dad hasn't seen the kid, then there is an easy solution. Let the dad see the kid.... BTW - 2 hours with dad isn't gonna cause your kid to grow up to be an ice addict and unless there is an established history of child abuse then I'd suggest this option is the better one.
