going to court and representing my self to see my child

[ollywilli]

I have had a right going on with my ex over the last nearly two years.
we ended up in court when we first seperated as I went for residency due to her state of mind, depression, self half, abuse towards me and our little one and she had counter claims, so there was a court order set, then this altered throu a solicitor to alternatre weekends.

she has ground down this contact and now is refusing contact as my little boy is saying daddy smack, after his visit to me a fornight ago. but I have two witnesses to prove I did not. she said she has contact social and the police, so I have been waiting for them to come and talk to me with no prevail, so I rung them and they knew nothing of it!!!!
i am unable to get legal aid as earn to much (?!?!? hard to believe) btu with maintance and debtr I am paying off I am unable to afford a solicitor or to get in !0k worth of debt again for their "expert" adivce.

What would I need to do to represent my self at court, and does any one have any advice on what to say, what to do and what not to do.

Hi, just notify the Court that you are representing yourself. The Judge has to be very careful in the way he handles the case and will NOT allow your ex's solicitor to take advantage of you. Just be very polite, do not get angry and if you feel you are getting things in a twist just apologise to the Judge, explain that you are not use to this sort of thing and that if you could you would pay for a Solicitor. Just be honest with what you tell them and polite at all times. Good Luck.
