I have final orders. I have asked the other parent to take a drug test and he refused, so I asked for a visitation centre again. He made no effort to do so, even though I arranged an intake.
This started when police had to evict and remove this person from the place they lived. Drugs are involved (ice, heroin), mental health, etc.
Reports to FACS have been made by the school, the doctors, etc.
I now have to go to mediation. Legal aid are paying for a family lawyer for the 4 hours.
If nothing is resolved what ‘merit’ needs to be met for the parent to have legal aid funding for court. The order did not state any time of days or overnight visitation. It was to be agreed between parties as previously visitation had been so sporadic.
Before the reports and police involvement, I had been very accommodating with the other parent, but the other parent is not bothering and not coming to first day of school, Christmas, etc, even when emails and details had been sent and arrangements had made. They just failed to show. Then they message wanting time months later so I am in contravention of an order?
Will legal aid fund for a new court case to change orders for full custody? I often read in here how courts don’t really ‘care’ about drugs, but if the drugs impact on life and someone is becoming homeless, surely it will be taken into consideration...
