Stick with the 3 hours. I know it sucks, but DO NOT miss a single one. You could apply to the courts for a residency order and make sure you apply for parental responsibility as you may not automatically have this. It is crucial for you have this, if then she does not include you on things like, schools, health issues, etc etc, you can go back to court to get things sorted out. An excellent publication is I believe, "Understanding the children's act" I don't have the ISBN handy but you should be able to Amazon for it. You can reapply through the court also for additional contact if you don't feel it's working and also weekend contact, mostly it's every 2nd weekend that you would be entitled to. Do they still do Legal aid? Would you be entitled to it? You could ask your CAb about this.
I don't know about entrapment, but what would be the point in suing her. You need to keep an amicable if frosty relationship with her for the sake of your son. It would be bad form for him to have every pick up and drop off a source of anxiety for him. You are well out of it with her, but it's not a case of 'if your son needs you', he does need you, you are his dad and he needs you now. He needs you to be dependable and charitable, and although you don't love her, he does. Whereas that doesn't give her license to walk all over you, you need to be the better person and allow him to love both his parents equally without feeling guilty to her for loving you and guilty to you for loving her.
Hope it improves for you. My thoughts are with you.
