Hi
Long story short my other half has a restraining order, his ex accused him of assult it went to court he was found not guilty but still given the order. He wasn't guilty either but that's another whole story!
there are loads of details but basically my partner is going to court to apply for contact and wants to get rid of the restraining order so he can see them as at present he cannot contact his ex directly or indirectly or attend her address....(her old addres as has recently moved)
his ex has used the restraining order to get a move thru the local authority,moving from 2.7 miles away to 0.3 miles away (literally just round the corner) My partner attempted to get contact to begin with at a contact centre as they couldnt be around each other however his ex wanted to be present for contact but wouldnt allow the restraining order to be removed (due to wanting a move) so the contact centre couldnt arrange the contact.
My partners solicitor wrote to court explaining all the details of why we would like the restraining order discharged and sent the letter from contact centre confirming she wanted to be present but wouldn't get rid of order which shows she isn't scared of him etc (which she isn't again a dif story lol) he now has a court date....
what I would like to know if someone could help is what will happen at court? will his ex have to be there will they ask what she wants as she is also using it top stop contact and what could my partner get as proof he isn't a risk to her and she isn't scared of him and has moved closer to him etc
Just any info would be really helpful as our solicitor is actually a family solicitor who wrote to the court on his behalf so were all just a little unsure of what will happen or could happen
Thanks in advance
