HI,
I'm making a specific order issue application to obtain my son's passport for summer holiday and have the C100.
It talks about mediation... do I have to go to mediation?
If I tick 2b (claiming exemption) > Section 3 tick urgency > 3c what do I tick as there is no risk of harm...
Thanks
Mathew
Background - already been to court and three years ago, got a child arrangement order to see my son (I should have asked at the time to have a section including passport for holidays). My ex just wont respond to my request...
hi,
i think mojo is better suited to answer this question. i am going through courts for first time now. i have mentioned passports, holidays abroad. looks like it will fall on deaf ears. cafcass did not mention the word abroad in their report lol, so someone is taking that as gospel. i have a kids lives with mother order. holidays abroad will be a fight for next year. right now just securing contact with kids.
theres an organisation called PSU. they can sit with you and fill in the forms, and give you some advice for free. www.thepsu.org
Hi there
As the summer holidays are pretty soon, you should be able to make an urgent application. To do this you should go back to the front page and tick the box on the right hand side that asks if the application is urgent or without notice. The form will then direct you to answer Q6a/b... I think 6a is the part you answer, about why the application is urgent.
Urgent applications don’t require attendance at mediation, that’s why the form directs applicants to go to Q6.
Hope that helps. Best of luck
Thanks for the reply, I've found section 6a so will make an application now.
You’re welcome puma... you should mention that there isn’t time to attend mediation, if she won’t mediate, mention that you’ve tried and also if you’ve booked the holiday already, give brief details.
best of luck
