I have been recently been accused of sexual abuse on my daughter,after 3 weeks of waiting ( while my daughter(5) was being questioned,i was called by the police officer involved,he offered to pick me up or make my own way to the station...i made my own way,i was cautioned then interviewed for 30 minutes,after that i was released with no further action taken as there was no evidence.
The welfare officer who interviewed my daughter visited me after i phoned to ask...what NOW? during his visit he told me that all my daughter said was i love daddy/like daddy and that i will have to go to court for access as they are no longer involved.
My question is that when i go to court my malicious ex will raise this,i know its not true,so do they,but will the family court make a decision with this in mind?
Hi Tonz
Welcome to the forum
That sounds like a truly awful experience and I hope you get it sorted soon.
You should make it very clear to your solicitor (if you have one) that any allegations raised by your ex have been unfounded - she may say that they dropped the case because they had no evidence and yet she knows the truth or something like that so be prepared.
You could counter that she is making these malicious allegations to help her win custody of your daughter.
Good luck with it
Hi Tonz
The fact that the police are not taking further action, neither are Childrens Services, will support you. The Courts are aware that ex's make false allegations.
Just be prepared for all eventualities. Without any proof or actions taken against you the court should dismiss the allegations but it has also been known for them to take them into account. Be open and honest if questioned about it, and try to remain calm and reasoned.
if the court does require proof that no further action was taken i'd get in contact with the Police and aask them for something in writting from them.
The courts can ask for police disclosure but that will take further time and add further delay
