Long story short I'm trying to break off a 10 yr dv relationship. Only 1 occurrence reported. We share 5 children. 2 of which are school age. My ex the children's father. Plays no family law orders card all the time but I have applied for legal aid and been granted waiting on response from lawyer. I'm only allowed access to have the children when he says so. And they are always split up and very rarely am I allowed to have more than 2 at a time. More recently he had the 9yr, 3yr, 2yr and 8 months whilst I had the 7yr. On a school morning I tried to text to see if I could grab my 7yr school stuff because my ex also don't allow me to have the children's belongings either. But he made it difficult because he tried to pressure me to be with him again and became intimidating yet again. So i stayed home as did the 7yr. My son became very distressed about going back to dad's house. With very good reason. So I tried to tell my ex for his mental state during this separation it would probably be best if he stayed with me. I rang 3 schools on the tuesday and had success at 1. I had an app. At 8.30 next morning. To partial enroll him. I didn't want to get in trouble through the ed department so I thought I had no choice really. And just quickly my ex lives 25 min drive away so it was a school in my area. My 7yr was very happy and excited to go. We arrived late at 8.45. I explained the situation to the principal she said that she understood. But because theirs no family law orders in place that she would have to ring my ex and tell him he was enrolled their. And preceded to say that he could go there and collect him whenever he liked it assured me if that was to happen she would stall him then ring me first before she got the 7yr from class. By the time he was settled in class and I left it was 9.45 as I was going out of town I seen my ex coming in. I knew what he was going to do so I turned around at the first opportunity and went back to the school. At about 10.20. It by the time I got there my ex was already in the office. As I got out of my car to go into the school I seen the principal walking to my son's classroom. I still walked into the office and when I did all staff had there back turned having personal conversations. I felt very victimised this day. Not one staff member at that school had any intentions on ringing me if at all. I went and sat in my car I felt helpless I watched troy and 3 other that met my ex there circle my son as they walked to their car and the 3 adults and my ex surrounded the door and strapped my son into the car. I have since learned he seen me and wanted to give me a cuddle good bye But was refused and became very distressed and tried to destroy the car and almost smashed the window. Sorry for it being so long. I'm just so confused. My question is was this fair and legal?
