I had my first CAFCASS interview last week and explained why my DD (11) had refused contact with her Dad for the last year.
For context there were a few incidents leading up to a loss of control/anger from her Dad on front of her.
She won't be alone with him since then
CAFFCASS lady said she thought it was extreme for an 11 year old.
I said back she was very sure of what she was saying....
She has said ex has said I am overbearing, controlling DD and alienating her.
She is going to recommend child inclusive mediation or section 7.
I think I would sooner section 7 as we have already done family therapy.
