Baby Daddy Lives With An Accused Sex Offender And Wants My Child To Still Have Sleepovers At His House.

Relevant info - My 26f ex 27m have a 6yo high needs child. I have full care of my child and have since birth. His father was around when he was an infant but didn’t enter his life again until he was 5. My ex has a past of drug issues (I can prove this but cannot prove his current use) and severe untreated mental illness (undiagnosed).

My ex’s best friend B (26m) is accused and being investigated of violently SA’ing my best friend M 26f. My ex and B live together.

M went to the police and there’s an investigation going on. There’s also an AVO stating there’s to be no contact.

Here’s the thing. Ex and I have an agreement that my child is not to be near B on any occasion, i stated that if I find out this is happening than my child won’t be going to his house again. My child came to me yesterday and told me he had seen B on many occasions with my ex. He said he felt unsafe at their house and that his dad/my ex kept telling him that B is a good person. He stated he doesn’t want to go there anymore. I have this on recording (without my child’s knowledge).

I’m genuinely concerned for my child’s safety. But my ex can be difficult to communicate with, to put it nicely. He was abusive to me so I question my judgment. I’ve considered getting legal advice but I’m so nervous of the outcome as I don’t want him to have custody. My child rarely even lasts the night with him, I don’t think my ex can handle my child’s needs honestly. I feel like this is the last straw.

Because of the lack of proof I’m not sure what my options are. I do fear he will fight me for more time if I go ahead with court.

I’m in Australia
