Post-Findings Help

Hi,

Just asking for some general advice moving forward.

I have not seen my daughter in just over a year, my ex made some pretty serious (false) allegations of domestic abuse.

We split up in November and from the period of November-December 2021 I saw her once.

After a long process and fact finding hearing every single allegation went in my favour, with the truth being believed.

I then asked for contact which the judge said could not be given until after a section 7 report, our next court hearing is in April.

I have since been sent the order from the latest court appearance but it does not go through the findings (is this normal). It was obviously drafted by her solicitor so I fear something underhand is going on?

What sort of contact can I expect from CAFCASS? Both interim and in the long term, my ideal scenario is shared residency, as I live local to her and close to her school. I’m desperate to see my daughter and just want to get on with my life, which I feel has been on hold for the past year.

Also how should I deal with CAFCASS, as said some serious allegations were made that have since proven false and the only ‘barrier’ to contact was these allegations, now they have been disproven there should be nothing stopping me but my daughter, however I know my daughter was being told some serious things about me with parental alienation being attempted prior to the breakdown in contact. I am worried she will be completely opposed to seeing me due to me being painted as a monster by her maternal family, would this be a barrier or would CAFCASS look unfavourably on the parental alienation due to these claims that have since been disproven.
