What's annoying is his ex was entitled to free legal aid but he wasn't and she actually told a mutual friend of theirs that she didn't care how often he had to take her to court cos it wasn't costing her a penny

This is exactly the case with my sisters partners ex. They have been to court maybe 10 times now..The girl has only shown up twice and no agreement was reached. Surely after so many no shows..it would prove to the court that she doesnt give a **** and they would just grant access in her absence? Its costing my sister a fortune as they have to pay a lawyer at each no show
