In my latest Court Order I have been ask to submit a Position Statement to the Court.
Could I PLEASE have some help with this? What Form needs to be completed and how it should read and what things to include.
Kindest Regards,
Brian
Hi Brian
Go to the "Guide to Representing Yourself in Court" sticky at the top of the Legal Eagle section and you will find a template for the position statement there. 🙂
Bri101..........as NJ says the "Guide to representing yourself in court" certainly helps get you in the right frame of mind.
When you're writting your position statement out try and stick to the facts, what you want, why its in the best interest of your child....keep it all child focussed....
One thing........make sure anything you write in your statement about your ex.....be it her abuse towards you, her lies she's making up, her actions, anything that you are using to prove her the one preventing you seeing/limiting your time with your kids......ensure you have the evidence available to hand to back you up in court should you need it. if you have this then tell the judge you can back up those bits in your statement with proof if needed, but that's more likely needed should you go to a "finding of fact" hearing if the judge feels it is needed.
i also added a couple of pages at the end of mine with photos of me and my little one enjoying days out prior to my ex stopping contact, these were added to show we were doing things like gong to feed the ducks, playing on the park, picnics etc... i even had a great one my mother took of us reading a book together that i wasn't aware of at the time....one of my fav photos of me and my little one.
Good luck with it all, plenty of people are hear who can help you out.
