Mark,
Best advise anyone can give you is to search long and hard for a local solicitor who specialises in "Family Law", not all ordinary solicitors do, sad to say.
I found one, via the internet of all things, and it was a breath of fresh air when I first went to see her (The family law solicitor), I was told on entering the room that she was not interested in me, nor my ex, only the children involved, that I must me honest in everything I was to say to her, and from that moment on, she has, and is, working like a bat out of hell for my kids.
We are at the stage now where we all will be interviewed by a court appointed CAFCASS officer, and believe me when I say, only the truth will be passed on to the court officials involved, they can see through any lies the parents involved come up with!
