Thank you! Really helpful
So here we go CAFCASS call tomorrow. Any last words of advice? Thanks everyone
Be clear about what you would like to happen.
I think that raising serious concerns about an ex is absolutely the right thing to do, if bad parenting is an issue. However, [censored] for tat or abusive language, isn’t a good idea. If she is a good mum it’s ok to say so.
Keep the conversation child focused, talk about the situation from your children’s perspective, how they will be feeling and what is best for them.
Be amenable and reasonable, let them know that you want to move forward and hope that in the future, you can work with your ex for the benefit of the children.... they like that kind of thing.
Finally... best of luck and do come and let us know how you got on.
Hi,
Just reporting back...
CAFCASS call went a lot better than I expected - more chat than Nazi interrogation! She listened to what I had to say, made detailed notes and was quite sympathetic. Lots of stress disappeared in about 30 minutes.
First Dispute Hearing next...
By the way, any advice for my FDHRA?
- Samaritans – call 116 123
- Shout – text the word ‘Shout’ to 85258
