I'm seeking advice on behalf of my son and also for myself in regards to his young son and my grandson.
Situation is that my son and his girlfriend lived together for approximately 18 months and then split up but continued to see each other and spend nights at each other's residences. During the entirety of their relationship there were many arguments, some involving police intervention until such a time came when the girlfriend replied for an AVO against my son making false claims of actual physical violence but she did not have to show any proof of this to have this order awarded in her favour for a period of two years.
She continued living with him until she got a place of her own and even then she would call and invite him to come over and stay for various periods of time. She would invoke an argument and then call the police and use the AVO against him.
She fell pregnant to my son and the situation of staying at each other's homes continued despite the AVO still being in place against him. He was present when the child was born and has been attempting to care for the child etc ever since (child is 5/6 months old now).
Since the birth of the child her behaviour towards my son and myself has become worse to the point where I am being denied any form of access to the child at all and my son is allowed only to visit with him at her home when she feels like it and for very short periods of time eg. she will call my son and demand money and/or food to which he will take such to her but after 20 minutes she has become abusive toward him and threatens to call the police on him if he doesn't leave.
She also takes the child away from her premises for days/weeks at a time so my son cannot see him at all. She has made death threats against my son which he has kept copies of.The AVO is now out of date and she has not applied for another one.
How does my son go about gaining access, or even custody, of his own child? Also how do I, as this child's grandmother, also gain access to my grandson?
