How many lies will the judge take? My son is trying to get access to his little girl. He went to court for contact in March and the mother has come out with false allegations about him. The judge was not happy about this being brought up on the day of the hearing, but had to dismiss and it had to go to county court. He was in court again yesterday and she has come out with even more false allegations. Is there a time when the judge will say NO MORE or can she keep doing this each time he goes to court to delay things? They are both on legal aid at the moment with my son paying contributions but shortly my son will have to start paying in full I presume as he will hopefully be in full time employment as he is coming to the end of an apprenticeship.
This latest set of false allegations are easily proven. Surely the judge must just see that she is wasting time. They won't even let him have supervised access and will not provide pictures so that we can see her. It has been a year since we last saw her and 7 months since my son saw her.
Hi There,
The courts are very good at seeing through lies, that said they do have to listen and even investigate at times, they would be failing in there roles if they didn't as I'm sure you can understand that not all fathers are straight down the line.
If you have proof that the things that are said are lies then present them, it would also be worth thinking about any other things she may come up with so you are ready with answers if and when she does bring them up.

Hi Cuddles 🙂
Did your son ask for Interim contact and was refused? Has he been asked to do a position statement yet? He will be able to defend himself against the false allegations, so as GTTS has said get your evidence ready for the next hearing...I'm pretty sure she can be cross examined at some point in the proceedings either by your sons solicitor or by your son if he has to go it alone. Give some thought about what questions to ask.
I will keep you informed as much as I possibly can. I would love to be able to tell everything but fear she might get wind of it and use it against us.
Hope everything goes well for you kennymac.
Hi Cuddles i know how frustrating the waiting can be , but its so worth the battle. stay strong and as others have said try to be one step ahead
