I am 9 months in from getting that dreaded phone call and have just received a copy of the section 7 report. This report has revealed information I didn't know in regards to what my ex husband was arrested for.

I stopped all contact (our children are 12 and 9) based on the information I was told (having indecent images) as I felt sick, worried and couldn't believe this was happening.

I was assured I had the right to do that. I was then taken to court by him over my choice and this is how the section 7 report has come about. (The added information includes the ages, gender and that the images were shared). When I was is contact with him he told me it was only a few images and accidently downloaded.

It has been suggested that supervised contact takes place with myself being the supervised adult and outlines the hours. Is this normal? I'm panicking even more now from having the additional information, it scares me as our children are within the age range of the images he had.

I am up and down all the time on if I ever knew him, because hand on heart I never thought I'd be in this situation and the one person I should of always been able to trust has let me down.

I also have a non molestation order for myself and eldest which is in force until April 2026. Does this become invalid due to the supervised contact suggestion?

Were you consulted in the section 7 process at all? Is there a way of appealing to the court? In my view it isn't in the best interests of the children for you to supervise contact and things like the non molestation order should have been taken into account and it doesn't seem like it has xxx

A section 7 was done for us as my ex husband took me to court for access.



It too suggested I supervised the contact, as apparently we should put the children first: while I agree I don't see why I should have to relive it all everytime I see him nor put my life on hold,, how can I possibly move on when I am expected to supervise contact weekly! Unfortunately, I'm still battling this x
