hi friends, need some advice. my wife left with my 2 months daughter in june 2012. she left on false domestic violence allegations. the police did not charge me with anything.
the herts county council privided her a house in bradford. the last contact i had with my child and wife was in dec2012. she promised tha she would allow me contact and said she wanted time till june 2013 to decide. she hasnt contacted me since and has not given me any of her numbers or address.
i filed a c4 form with the court to locate the whereabouts of my chile. i also filed in c100 for a contact order. since i did not know the address of my wife i filed in c4 form as well naming herts and bradford county concil.
now i have received letter from the court with a court date. i have been asked to serve the notice to the concils so that they can also attend the court. i am representing myself in court.
behind the notice of proceedings letter it states that "note 4 if you want to apply for an order in respect of the children named on the notic fill in form c2"
my question is:
a. what is this c2 form?
b. i have already made an application for contact c100. how is this different from c2?
c. is there anything i need to keep in mind while attending court
thanks again
raghu
Did you file the C4 and the C100 forms together?
The C2 form is used for permission to start proceedings, or if you wish to apply for a further order when proceedings have already commenced, or if you wish to be added or removed as a party.

hi, yes i filed both together, because i did not have the address of my wife. i think i dont need another order, because i only want 2 orders - one to know the address, for which i have filed c4
- second to have a contact order, for which i filed c100
I don't understand why they would want a C2 then...as they have issued you with a date for the hearing already. I think the best thing to do is call the court and ask them why you need to submit the C2 form. Explain that you have Parental Responsibility and have already submitted the C4 and C100 forms together and have received a date for the first hearing.
Do you have PR for the children? What are the years of birth and are you named on Birth Certificates as father?
If you read his first post, he was married to the mother and the child is only 15 months old. I think we can assume he has PR and is on the birth certificate.
I did read it, but missed that. I should probably get off here now!
Then on the C100 did you complete the question on the first page "do you need leave to make the application".
If neither, then the Court fudged up...and they do...a lot! 😆
As I suggested, a call to the court should clarify matters. There doesn't seem to be a valid reason to submit a C2!
Easily missed EnyaM!
