My ex was sentenced for images in November. I have refused contact to his 3 and 8 Yr old kids and he hasn't seen them sinse June. Now he is applying for a child arrangements order. All I know is cafcass will get involved right? And I don't know what the judge will decide? He has no restrictions on being around kids or his own on his shopo. So what would a judge and social services likely do? He is currently medium risk and probably will go to low after finishing his rehab courses.. Before the court he was very close to the kids I admit. But I had to put there safety first. All I'm asking is for as much advice on what will happen from his court application for child arrangements. And how likely will it be he's granted contact if any to the kids? Can please share your own experiences or advice thank you x

Hi,

Without knowing the specific details of the images etc catagories/ages etc it would be impossible to guess what a judge would decide.

What did SS say around contact ?

CAFCASS will likely be appointed so they can undertake assessments.

I hope you're ok
