To ask about the family court here?

[farfromthemadamcrowd]

Not an AIBU as such, but hoping for more responses than the legal section usually receives..

Ex Dp met a new partner at Xmas, new partner moved in and all hell broke loose, essentially this led to me taking Ex to court for access to DD (we had 50/50 with no issues up until then)
Ex then took me to court so we have 2 counter applications at the and time, both with C1a's, that have been merged into one case (are you with me so far?)

So now Ex and his new partner have split, and he wants to back out of all court matters, and is happy to revert to our previous agreement.

Now I'm happy enough to do this, but I want a court order stating the agreement, so this doesn't happen again...

Can I email the court and explain that we have agreed, and ask them to make an order with both parties consent? Or is that totally naive of me?

Bump! 🤞

He can withdraw his application

Have you done mediation?

You could file an agreed order with the court - unless there are serious allegations of dv in which case the court may not approve it without proper risk assessments and investigations.

How does one withdraw an application?
There are serious allegations of DA in his application...but they are entirely fabricated, he has (verbally) admitted to me that he didn't have a clue what was going down on the court papers, as his girlfriend was doing it all....

I would imagine that accusations of DV will trigger a CAFCASS report now. That’s what happened for me anyway.

🙈 he is a complete idiot!

Basically you need it in writing he lied and he needs to admit to it

Is that going to happen

He is a complete idiot, yes.

I will put it to him that he needs to put it in writing, he seems desperate to stop the court action so who knows what he is willing to do...

Hopefully he is willing to confess to a lie throw ex girlfriend under the bus and move on but make sure you get the new (same as the old) agreement agreed by the court including permission to travel overseas that will save you loads of issues in the long run

Well I've just had the carcass text, phone interview this week, I suppose a lot hangs on what he says to them??

That's my main concern slippery...I need the court to make the agreement or next time he gets a new girlfriend/if they get back together this could happen again.

What an idiot. I really hope he admits to what he did.

You need to get it in writing what happened and why
