Hi

Yes, generally if there are allegations outstanding which need looking into then CAFCASS would want this exploring first as based on the allegations and the outcome of any fact finding, Cafcass can then determine next steps..

Hi

CAFCASS will have been waiting to see if the police pursue it on the criminal standard and charge you. Now that the police have NFA, depending on the allegations and what your ex says will determine whether Cafcass will suggest the allegations are looked at to the civil standard or balance of probabilities which is what the family courts use.. Just because the police NFA, does not mean it didn't happen, it just means that the police/CPS cannot prove it to a jury beyond reasonable doubt. It is different in the family courts.

On the other hand if you were charged then cafcass would just go with that..

 

Hope this makes sense..
