My ex is appealing a CAO that was pretty favourable to me tomorrow. What is likely to happen? How can I find out? I have written two Skeleton Arguments in response to her Skelly for the Appeal and a C" requesting review of the order. Will I take the stand? Will I be able to question her?
hi,
found this old thread, all about CAO appeals:
https://www.dad.info/forum/legal-eagle/49950-appealing-a-child-arrangement-order
I take it that it was a magistrates order and you're going in front of a judge? Or is is district judge up to circuit judge?
You can only appeal on a point of law, not because she doesn't like a decision.
What happens in the hearing will depend on the judge's views and what points they are hearing the appeal on.
I would edit your post to take out the court venue as it could identify you.
It's impossible to make suggestions about individual cases with so little information as each one varies.
Best of luck
I’ve edited out the location of the court.
I don’t know too much about the appeals process, but you should be given the opportunity to put your case forward at the hearing... cross examination usually happens at the final hearing.
All the best
Many thanks. It was postponed and now relisted for October 10th.
