I'm new to this forum so i hope i've posted in the right section, here goes, i was with my Ex partner for just under 5years in this time she cheated on me 4 times the 4th time being the last and she's still with the bloke she cheated on me with, we have a son who is 3, now i pick him up every weekend, and she knows how uncomfy it was for me to pick him up with her new b/f being there, she apologised but said there was nothing she could do, anyway my son was the important one in all this so i go and pick him up, we split about 4 months ago and when i pick him up there's been a few arguments me getting accused of bringing him back with marks on him etc, so at the mo i'm just waiting to take her to court to apply for PR anyway the weekend just gone we had another argument but this time her b/f got involved and started threatening me which i'm not comfy with at all, the only thing i'm interested in is my son, i told my solicitor that i wanted someone to pick my son up for me but i can't unless i know someone which i don't as she was controlling so had no friends still haven't so i'm on my own, now the thing that's bothering me is picking my son up at the w/d i don't know if he's going to start again or not, is there any advice anyone can give me?....i was told that if he touches me i can have my son moved out of that house due to him being at risk, but not sure how true it is.
Any info appreciated,

Where I am from they have a pick up and drop off building. It is a great thing that is free of cost. You would go into a room on one side of the building, your ex would go into a different room then a person who works there would bring your child to you without ever having to see your ex. I am not sure if you would have to talk to a mediator at your court house to set that up, but I would check into that. Good luck!

Hi Me Just a quick note to tell you that you should contact your nearest Social Services Branch, they will quite helpfully advise you of how to access the nearest pick up place for you....it is a service on offer because I am afraid theres alot of people in the same situation as you have found yourself in.....the new boyfriend is just a bully ..ignore him!!!!
