My wife has made serious demonstrable lies about me to the family court, Cafcass and neighbours. Along with causing me significant anguish, neighbours refusing to speak to me I also believe that these lies have influenced decisions in the family court. The family court will not address, or all me to ask questions about these lies.
I have been quoted £5000+VAT by a solicitor to take on my case.
Can anyone suggest a solicitor who may help fathers at a reasonable rate, pro bono solicitors or any other source of help?
Many thanks
You can continue to represent yourself. There are some useful guides on the advicenow.org.uk website. During the process you should have been contacted by social services and/or Cafcass which gives you a chance to put your side. However, they don't like mud slinging and its best to be child focussed. You can emphasise the good things about your relationship with your children. I'm assuming that is the issue?
One of the worst allegations is that "I self harm by cutting with a breadknife". An examination by my GP found "no current or historical evidence of self harm with any implement".
Another lie is that I am transphobic. I worked for several years with a trans woman to host activities in my centres (as a local authority library manager) as part of LGBT month. My neighbours daughter has just started the transformation process to become a boy and I am full supportive of this. They have asked if I would witness some of the forms they have to sign as part of the process, I am more than happy to do this.
Surely thse lies is significantly damaging to my application for joint custody?
My wife must be stopped from spreading damaging lies about me.
