I have recently split with my partner and he has taken me to court to get access (not that I was denying it in any way). They have said CAFCASS have to do a report. I have heard lots of things about CAFCASS, mainly bad things, and I have to say I am terrified with the decision they could come up with. My DS and DD currently live with me though see my ex regularly. My DD is too young to express a preference as to who she wants to live with but my DS (age 9) says very firmly that he wants to stay with me. However I am afraid of what CAFCASS will ask and how they will word it. My ex is very very good at being manipulative and convincing whoever of whatever he wants. He has already made up blatant lies about me and I am scared of what he will come up with.
Please could anyone tell me of any experience they have had with CAFCASS, good or bad, what happens, what questions they might ask the kids? Any advice very gratefully received. Thanks
