To think family court can't be THAT bad?

[RabbitWarrren]

I have gone down a rabbit hole of threads on here and Twitter accounts of women fighting to get their kids back after abusive and/or rich men have got full custody or majority custody. Some truly awful stories

Am I being a total cow to think there must be more to it? Loving, caring, devoted mothers losing their kids to men who have criminal records? Or even just losing their kids entirely to men who never lifted a finger before?

I don't mean that these stories aren't horrific and unjust. But just that it must be something must be more complex for a mum to lose their kids?

Am I being naive? Victim blaming? Is the family court system really that criminal?

Either an MRA or works for CRAPCRASS. ignore the fool

We had an entire Cafcass report that was clearly copy and pasted from another of her cases- referred to one of my children by the wrong name throughout and our address had the wrong postcode.

I’m currently going through family court about my child. I feel the CAFCASS officer does not see through my ex partner and the situation which led me fleeing to my birth home. In fact I am getting the blame for not being rational! The interview was horrific, almost 3 hours and I came out feeling deflated, overwhelmed and questions everything about my ex partner and the relationship.

My ex partner wants to share our child between two countries. I feel he is going to get what he wants. I am dreading the report.

has anyone else been in a similar situation like this? I feel like it’s easier to give up our child to him because the level of stress it is causing, I can’t describe.

When you get the report go through it with a highlighter..mark any lies or untruths. Your solicitor can bring these to the judges attention.. If you have any evidence have it printed out at the ready. I had a senior Cafcass officer thrown out of court after he admitted on the stand his 4 year's worth report was based on 'facts' he received from exh... Exh lost his ridiculous case..

Would you mind expanding on this please?

I would have thought having a barrister who can articulate your reasons properly would work in your favour.

@Eggseggseverywhere
thank you, I will.
Do you have any experience with a CAFCASS worker, I am trying to understand if the interview should have been so intense where I was crying in distress and constant points raised in favour of my ex. I feel the safeguarding claims I put into court are completely dismissed as they don’t believe me, my ex is very good at admitting things but never the full context. I was in a difficult relationship for almost 5 years and i finally got out. I feel the nature of the interview was not handled sensitively e.g. throwing a book across the room to show me an example of aggression. My ex has made no efforts to see our daughter for 4 months yet it’s put on me why he hasn’t seen her because of my irrational actions.
