there is quite alot of history which i wont bore you all with, just the very basics! partners ex accused partner of domestic violence found not guilty but her solicitor really pushed for restraining order, partner represented himself didnt object so now has one despite magistrate saying it was only a verbal argument started by the ex (this sort of thing happened throughout their 2 yr relationship)....been going thru solicitors for contact, ex pushed for contact centre which partner agreed to to start seeing them asap and build up contact, 2 weeks before going to contact centre she says she has to be in the room to begin with! isnt possible due to restraining order, which she knows this is her way of playing more games and stopping him from seeing them, Social Services have also said they have no concerns at all to my partner having unsupervised contact (contact centre was only a supported one)....so we need to go to court for contact order.
What i wondered is what the steps were, we will be speaking to our solicitor but we havent been very happy with her considering changing so any advice would be great!!
ive read so much about cafcass (not sure if thats how its spelt) is this something for when ss are involved and not happy or is it a standard thing?
do we basically apply to court, both attend and then something is decided by the court on the first hearing? he pays thru csa desperatley wants to see them, ss have no objections its just the ex cos he left her. or will there be alot of court cases and assesments etc. also from application do you know the time scale for court hearing? i guess it depends on how busy the courts are but wonder if there was some rough idea of timescales.
Anything you can tell us would be brilliant
Thank you !!
