Hi jazz,
so the ex just made the application out of the blue? wonder if she attended MIAM mediation assessment before applying?
Hi mate,
I should add that we did attend 2 sessions of Mediation last year, before I realised that it was £100 a session and had to stop.
Thank you, that's really helpful.

Just scheduled a call from CAFCASS as part of this process. Anything I need to worry/plan for?
Hi Jazz,
its pretty basic. will prob last 20-30 minutes. will ask basic details about you and ex, childs name, d.o.b etc. will ask basic questions like what happened, about marriage/relationship breakdown. what are the issues with child contact? they may mention allegations that your ex made. so you have to stay calm and answer them. try your best not to slag off the ex, dont say she is a bad mother.
you have to stay child-focused. every thing has to be in the best interests of the child.
