My 'ex' claims that our 7 year old son does not want to meet me, or sleep at my house, as our contact arrangements provide.When we met, however, my son seems pleased to be with me and shows no signs of not wanting to meet me, as my 'ex' claims. Can I apply to court for my son to be asked his view on the matter?

Yes! The 1984 Civil Procedure Rules expressly state that in family proceedings concerning a minor, the child himself should be given the opportunity to express his feelings, opinions and wishes on the matter before the court, and that the court itself shall give appropriate weight to them in its decision, in accordance with his age and level of maturity.
