Just wonered, as you know im fighting for contact with my son
on the initial application I haven't asked for my wife to have contact with my son as I have never seen my son.
But I am keen to ensure that at some point she would be permitted to have contact aswell, even if that is with my whilst I have contact at a contact centre?
How do I do this,
Do I inform CAFCASS of this when they do their report?
I have already said to the Judge I want this to happen and for my son to know his extended family on my side, but my main concern is for my wife to have access asap
does she have to apply on a C100 aswell?
Hi,
Has it ever been said that she shouldn't have contact?
From my view unless this has been said then it shouldn't be an issue, Talk about it in court and the judge will be able to rule.
Your ex doesn't have the right to stop you seeing other people whilst you see your child as long as there is no risk to safety
Darren
Thanks,
no the ex wife has never said that she doenst want anyone else seeing our child.
and I have mentioned in a position statement that I want my son to know his extended family on his paternal side, but I didnt know if I formally had to request that all of my family have contact??
Myself and my mum have and both she objected too!!! these applications are now going to CAFCASS for them to advise what contact if any we should have
but want to make sure I will be able to my wife, her son, my sisters nephews neices etc in time.
Maybe not straight away as I have never seen him but in time defo
As Darren has said who you allow to see your child is up to you as long as there are no restriction placed by the courts.
from my own situation i wouldn't be introducing anyone until i knew my child is ready for that and to be honest i just want to rebuild the bond i had/have before i do introduce anyone else in to his life. i just wish my ex had the same outlook on life!
Brilliant thanks I guess I can say I am excersiing my parental responisbility on that.
Obvioulsy I wouldn't necessarily do it straight away, but equally she could help me as I have never seen my son and she is more experienced with young children than me with being a mother herself
