I'm sure i dont need to go into all the details of my current court case because im sure there's loads of you that have read my story before about violent alcoholic ex etc etc failed drunk and drug tests etc etc (boring boring boring I hear some of you think!). but I am in an awful state over the fact that yesterday cafcass where supposed to have made a report for the courts but i have never met with a cafcass officer neither has my son and as far as im aware neither has my ex :s so can a report be made? also does anyone know if a risk assessment that clearly has been mislead and proven false still be used in court? will be really thankful for all the feedback.
thank you

sorry, don't know your background/circs but CAFCASS cannot make their report if they haven't met you, your ex and your DC. Their report should set out about the family history and their assessment of what they have seen etc which clearly they cannot do. You should contact the Court office and find out what is happening. I know in some areas there is a shortage of CAFCASS officers which can mean that a report due within 12 weeks of a hearing can take up to 20 weeks (or longer) so that may be the case where you are
