I've missed the court day yesterday and can't find nothing out about the contact or non mol order im pulling my hair out trying find something out but who is best to call ??? Pls help me out anyone
Hi
It's probably best to call the court, which you won't be able to do until Monday now.
Was the hearing yesterday to do with the non mol and child contact? If any decisions/orders have been made in your absence you will be notified by letter.
It wasn't a good move to mss the hearing, I would write to the court and apologise and give your reasons.
Hopefully they won't have closed the case and another hearing will be arranged, you will be able put your case forward.
All the best
Hello mate, shame you missed the date.
You can call the central court office line on 0300 123 5577 who could tell you what the end date is etc. They are not legally qualified and will not be able to give you specific legal advice. They will recommend you seek legal advice like a solicitors, but that's up to you. Be warned they cost a lot and you may be able to do it on your own without a solicitor, depends on your financial situation I guess.
Do not breach the non-mol! Depends on what the conditions are about child contact, is there exceptions for this? If so try them. If no luck with ex try mediation, you would have to try this before going to family court for a child arrangement order, so if she doesn't take part thy will sign form to show this and you apply to court.
Hope this helps. The non-mol would have been made without notice by the sounds of things because she claims to be in 'immentiant danger', it's can all be nonsense, and you can challenge it.
Can someone plz give me advice , my son was given a non molestation order this week . He's been accused of more or less every abuse u can think of , & it's all lies . But b4 this came he went to mediation & now has c100 court papers to fill in for access to his son, they split last aug 18 & he has had regular contact with his son every week up until Dec 10th, he only contacted her thru text message only or phone as she blocked all the family back in aug On social media. She hot sent 2 letters inviting her to attend mediation last 1 being on 14th jan 19. But looking at the nmo it's dated the 15th . He has to appear at court on the 14th Feb, plz help
Hi there
Your son will be given the opportunity to give his side of things. Some points to consider -
If she is alleging abuse, why was she happy for contact to go ahead regularly up until December, if she thought there were risks?
How did the handovers take place, was his son picked up and dropped back at the ex’s house? If he was then again that might weaken her arguement.
If the allegations are all historic, think about what evidence your son can supply that can show that what she is saying isn’t true. Check through his texts to find messages that might shed light on their relationship and put a question mark about her allegations that the relationship was abusive.
It would be helpful if your son prepared a brief two page position statement, to give the court a little more detail about his side of things, mentioning the points I made above, if they’re relevant.
Sometimes the court will offer an undertaking, which sets out certain conditions, but allows the person to accept the undertaking without accepting wrongdoing.
All the best
If someone obtains a non molestation order, they can often qualify for legal aid so it's a route that is attempted frequently these days.
If she has submitted a thorough statement with her application. you can respond to that in full attaching any evidence you might have. Respond to the points in parallel numerically for each of her allegations.
If she hasn't submitted a statement with her application, do as mojo says and prepare a short position statement without evidence for now.
Best of luck
