Please advise !

My X has admitted Domestic Violence without the trauma of a Finding of Fact Hearing
He wanted Residency but now will stop that application and will continue with contact which will increase after he has attended Court Ordered 'Anger Management' courses
As he has been on these before I am worried that it just wont really make any difference
Is their any other form of help that the courts could advise on?
Am due back in Court Friday to discuss this
At great expense of course!
Why cant this just be discussed via Sols?
Any advice gladly recieved

I was in Court last week in what sounds like a similar situation.
As my Solicitor, Cafcass 9.5 Guardian and the children's Solicitor said, no Court Order can successfully change a person's character. They can only seek to offer guidance and limit the damage to the children, acknowledging the trauma that can arise through removing a parent from a child's life.
My ex denies all abuse and refused to attend any Court ordered "therapies", parenting/perpetrator programmes.
The last thought was a Family Assistance Order, but that also depended on the ex's agreement - could be a thought for you?
Good luck and hope this helps.

Perpetrator programmes are supposed to be better than anger management for domestic violence as anger management can just teach people to rein in their anger and move to other ways of being abusive. A good perpetrator programme aims to get people to understand and accept that they have been abusive and try to change themselves at a much deeper level. So you could try and get that required.

Best wishes,
