Anyone experience with the affects on the child when protective parent is taken to court for access?

Ex was removed from home at door knock when child was aged 2. Charged and went to crown court. 2 yrs probation. 5 yrs Spo and SOR. Child now 7 and not had any in person access in two years. Does not ask about it and happy. Interviewed by risk assessor and said I wasn't happy due to child being so content and that this opens a huge can of worms but they've assessed him as low risk due to online images/videos in the hundreds rather thousands.

Life has moved on and new partner who is a dad to child and yet it looks like judge will grant Supervised Access.

Has anyone successfully fought this? I'm so very conscious of childs mental health, who has no understanding of what has gone on and surely this will raise questions. I know we have to tell them at some point but how does life get better for them with a sex offender in the picture?

I would talk to a family solicitor if you can.

Yes, we have been with a family solicitor and £7000+ in fees so far. The case is ongoing.

I wanted to know about people's experiences and how it went for the child?

I'm so sorry this is happening to you.

I don't have much in the way of advice but I too am in this situation both with my ex and with his parents. If you ever need to vent then my messages are open.

It's abusive, and not in the best interest of your child when they are happy and content without him in their life
