Im 22 living at home and my mum has just applied for a barring order against my dad.
In the past my mom has admitted to cheating on dad and even using drugs but they did try and work throgh it. Needless to say that didnt work and now they just try and stay out of each others way and act like a bitter married couple from a TV show.
Two weeks, after my mom came home at 4am with no explanation they did get into a argument, nothin g bad, no voilence or even threat of voilence. As far as I can tell there has never been any voilence between the two ever. They both just yell and stay away from eachother untill they have time to cool off.
Wel,l after that argument later in the week we get a letter and she has applied for a barring order against him.
My dad is currently looking for a solicitor.
Can he fight this? and will the fight cost a arm and a leg?
I hear horror stories that basically all the women has to do in this situation is say "domestic violence" in court and they will side with them.
Do me and my sister have any say in this? (we are both over 18) can we make a statment or something?
Im sure they could come to a less messy seperation but my Mon doesnt want to hear about it. She just wants to drag my dad through the dirt and I have no doubt will lie to do it so she can "win". it sickens me.
so some info on the two
both parents work.
dad works full time and pays the bills. rent, TV, phone and so on.
mom works part time in a local supermarket but doesnt pay any bills around the house.
so yeah any advice would be great. we are all kind of worried.
