cafcass home visit on Monday

[mrsdarcey78]

Hi I have the cafcass officer due to my home on Monday to do the interview for the children for the section 7 report.
the two older children ages 18 and 15 have been taken off the paperwork, only the 10 year old left on it. He still wants to speak to all 3 children.
They have not seen their father in over 2 years, and he was emotionally abusive and cruel. They do not direct contact with him.
Final court date is Thursday. Any tips on how to approach this, I have asked and been told they can have a chaperone there with them. (grudgingly).
I do not want to say anything about direct contact etc, as this is not what the children want. I have returned all the paperwork cafcass asked of me and attended a interview on my own.
He is also now defending the divorce petition (please see other thread).
Thank you for any help, I will have a barrister with me on Thursday, I am having to fund this on my own. x
