Is permission required to apply for contempt.

Unread post by bloodmooneclipse » Sat Jul 13, 2024 6:17 pm

Greetings, my ex initiated child proceedings against me after I applied for divorce in 2021 as he would need a reason to remain in the UK.

The application is full of deliberate false allegations against me and my family by my ex which include assault, controlling, not allowing ex to work, not allowing him outside.

I have evidence that proves everything I say is true beyond doubt.

I obtained a non-molestation order in 2021 which was valid till 2022 my ex and his brother telephoned me and made multiple video calls which is a breach of the NMO, when I informed the police they said they would look into the matter as it was COVID and lockdown restrictions they did not get back to me.

Current situation is my ex has made a desperate attempt for contempt for not complying with the orders issued by the court. Which the court has agreed to hear.

It is blatantly obvious from the home office letter provided to the court my ex is only making these allegations to remain in the country "The subject has no valid leave to remain"

A decision will be made once the court has made the final order.

What is very concerning I was not aware that he made false representations to the Home Office of being a victim of domestic abuse and had made an application to receive benefits which was accepted by the Home Office when the time came to renew his application was rejected he then applied as a potential victim of trafficking which the home office says they believe there are positive grounds.

The home office has not even contacted me to request information. My ex filed for a review the home office rejected his review but the potential victim of trafficking is still ongoing.

From my understanding contempt of court can be filed at anytime the breach of the non molestation order is a criminal offence as stated on the penal notice.

Would I need to permission to apply for contempt of the NMO or do I just make an application stating no permission is required.

I have no solicitor and there is a possibility I may end up in prison for not complying with the order.

I have videos, photos, police disclosure to prove my ex's allegations are false beyond doubt his TikTok profile is publicly viewable he claimed to have been homeless after making false allegations of being kicked out of the family home.

He can be seen working, dancing, eating, singing songs during the period my ex claims he was homeless. The TikToks are automatically timestamped.

My last solicitor has informed me they are unable to represent me after I showed them my evidence due to professional embarrassment.

They told me the evidence shows a pattern of coercice control and proves the findings made by the court are wrong. They suggested I contact the Police as coercive control as he is using statutory organisations to coerce me into agreeing to contact by statutory I'm assuming my solicitor means the court? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Sorry for the long post any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

Dear bloodmooneclipse

Welcome back to the parents discussion board. Thank you for your post.

I am very sorry to hear that you are still in a complicated and protracted family court process. Unfortunately, your query is outside our remit as we provide advice to families about children’s services involvement. Your situation relates to a private law court process.

I hope that one of the following agencies will be able to provide the advice that you need.They are funded to provide this type of advice:

Rights of Women

Child Law Advice

You may also be able to access affordable advice via one of the following:

Advice Now

Affordable Justice

Advocate

For support around coercive control, you can contact one of the domestic abuse services linked to here . And as your last solicitor advised you, you can contact the police.

You wanted to know what is meant by statutory organisations; they are organisations funded by central or local government who are required by law to provide certain services e.g. the NHS, children’s services, the police etc.

If there is a social worker from children’s services involved with your child and you need advice about this, please post back or contact the advice service via one of the routes linked to here.

I hope this helps.

Best wishes

Suzie
