What is the best type of evidence to provide to the magistrate that there is a unacceptable risk to my child?
I was under the impression that evidence through psychological reports, doctors and FACS and police would be enough factual evidence. However, the magistrate ordered my child to have supervised contact with the father 2 days after school total of 6 hours per week with a supervised contact person through a third party, and I have been ordered to pay for the contact visits for the next 3 months until it's reviewed. I'm paying over $400 a week for his visitation rights.
It is a high cost to pay, leaving me with a $120 to live off per week with one dependent.
I'm currently homeless and residing with relatives. Due to the domestic violence, I left the home. My ex changed all the locks and put himself on Centrelink benefits and resides in the family home. Due to him being on benefits, he has no money and has had to get a loan to pay his solicitor hence can't contribute to his child.
I have borrowed money from a relative for legal representation and this was the result.
It seems my ex, the abuser and perpetrator, has all the rights. In need of help? Where do I go from here?
