I'll try and keep it brief. During the first directions hearing, cafcass recommended no contact between ex and child. Recommended a fact finding hearing.
However, in court today, different cafcass officer present, no interim contact agreed again, however this officer said a fact finding hearing wasn't necessary as the section 7 report would be sufficient.
The issues are that ex is violent and emotionally abusive to child and so I thought it would be crucial to have a fact finding hearing? His behaviour is also that of someone who is deeply disturbed. I have been told that my solicitor can challenge this, should they?
(solicitor not present today as legal aid application not approved yet but is certain to be imminently)
Thanks in advance
