Any idea on how the final hearing is expected to go? Apparently the focus won’t be on my ex as she agrees with cafcass and as I’m disputing it, it’ll be me cross examine cafcass. Does this mean my ex won’t really say much through her barrister?
have you come across examples of LIP successfully cross examine and getting cafcass recommendations overturned?
this my last chance to not mess it up, wanna get it right.
as for accepting all findings I’m in two minds about that as that would mean accepting I was physically abusive whilst she was 7 months pregnant. That simply isn’t true. She’s exaggerated and changed the scenario. But courts have believe her.
I’m hoping by accepting some of it (being a bully) that that can sway them
hi,
what contact have cafcass recommended? rejecting the findings will have serious consequences, e.g. no contact with kids.
her barrister will likely discuss any outstanding issues/problems.
@dadmod2 hi mate. cafcass have recommended that she (2 year old)
-lives with her mother
-indirect from me (6 a year)
-indirect from her (4 a year)
-no DAPP
-indirect until i accept findings and make significant changes
don’t agree with any but at the DRA accepted that I was bully but not violent just to have supervised to which the magistrates still refused
@mb1008 ok, as mentioned earlier, you should accept the findings and show court that your willing to work with them, for sake of kids. it's a bitter pill to swallow, but you should accept findings even if you personally disagree, otherwise 99% chance you will be stuck with indirect contact permanently. feel free to contact me for any advice. dropping you a private message.
