Check out this site:

I've used snippets from previous cases that have had similar events to my own....Parental Alienation, False allegations etc... all very long to read the whole case notes and judgements but well worth it to find out about what you can use in your own specific case.

It also helps get the brain to tire at night sometimes with how long winded they can be.

thank you for the link

how would I use this in court

should I print some of these off and just try to quote them in court

p a s ones are good maybe I can show this is occurring to me

I am worried I will say the wrong thing in court or not know what I can or can not say

does stopping and starting contact because of how my ex feels about certain things about me and not Childs welfare mean anything

thank you everyone who is helping me

im just a dad trying to be a father still

Luckily I didn’t have to quote any cases in court as my ex seemed to do enough to upset the judge with going against his orders.

However I did have the notes made regarding certain case judgements that I was going to use if I thought they’d be needed. I also printed off 2 copies just in case I needed it and to pre-empt the judge saying he’s not aware of that case. Although in contact disputes I’m fairly sure the judges in family law are able to find what they need for reference themselves….after all they’re Family Law Judges!

If I’d needed to I was going to say something along the lines of:

In the contact dispute case AB1234 between Mr a father versus Mrs a mother 2010 the father claimed breach of contact order through implacable hostility and parental alienation by the mother towards the father.
Based on the fathers evidence and proof and lack of proof from mother the judge found the mother was in breach of the order and denying the father contact with child. Previous court orders being broken by mother added weight to the judgement and judge enforced the order by a change of residence of the child from the mother to the father.

Give CORAM (CLC) a call and discuss this a bit further though, it may be I was just getting too carried away with making sure every base was covered.

that's how I have been thinking trying to cover all bases before I get there
it is so scary with all the rubbish she will come out with
what is CORAM (CLC) ?
I have got proof she has lied to the court, only by way of telling the police one thing court another
proof she was controlling to me
I took her counselling once before
and she has depression for ten years change of doctors twice
suicide attempt 999 called but not responded to call
can I show p a s is happing to me and I suffered dv from her
should I ask for psychology/drug test on her
I only want to see my son not fight with her but I will fight to win the war I am in
my son has said things to me he should not know about welfare issues maybe
sorry for the constant rambling
L I P in person need every thing that can help me

very good free legal advice from family law solicitors. well worth the free phone call to them for that little extra advice.

If you can prove the DV on you....and i mean prove with recorded evidence....i.e. police notes etc... then thats a great position. same goes for the other stuff.

Make sure you show those points and the texts in your evidence they are gonna be good to show her lies to the courts.
