Welcome to the DAD.Info forum: Important Information – open to read:
Our forum aims to provide support and guidance where it can, however we may not always have the answer. The forum is not moderated 24 hours a day, so If you – or someone you know – are being harmed or in immediate danger of being harmed, call the police on 999.

>>Don't forget that your witness statement (version of events) counts as evidence in itself, if you or your wife have no evidence other than your word against hers then the judge will decide based on probability.
If there is no direct evidence or police records, this x 1000. But be very careful in how you write your witness statement because the courts will expect/demand it is as neutral and facts-based as follows. Consider the following two statements:
1. I had to move out because her constant lies and arguments were too much to bear
2. Myself and my former partner had a variety of unresolved issues, so on the xx of Sept, 2018 I moved out of the FMH
Keep it as fair and as neutral as you can, and always try and state things as factual as you can.
Hello
many thanks to all who have replied to my questions
I have just found out about contested hearing, I want to reconcile, my wife has accused me of domestic violence, she says i have slapped her once etc
no serious harm or injury she reported
I feel she would have made phone calls to police to make her case strong,
anyhow, we have a little son I stil want to reconcile, and going to contested hearing would bring hatred nothing more, even if i prove that she is wrong , i would loose my family
can any one help me with my this query
is it possible that I do not go for contested hearing? What would happen if I dont go on contested hearing ?
Can I inform the court that I do not want to contest it ?
Please help me out here, I am very depressed, I cant tolerate this pain and anxiety
thanks
hi omiii,
i can only imagine you are going through a very tough time. fight for your rights. do not back down. there are plenty of threads on here, where someones ex makes up stupid allegations. it is standard procedure. stay positive, your not going to lose your family. you need to secure access to your child. you should do that with a c100 application.
bill337 thanks for your quick reply
but I am afraid if she had made phone calls to police , about domestic violence( alleged) also I still love her ( just dont call me crazy)
can you tell me what options do I have,
can I just do not go to contested hearing ?? is it possible
I am in a profession where she can use this against me, turning up and losing is more risk game then do not turn up and lose.
help me here please
it sounds complicated. really you should be speaking to a solicitor about all this.
