submitted statements?

[queenbitchapparently]

My Dp has submitted his final statement to the court, it is a shortish factually accurate informative statement.
We recived his ex wifes statement yesterday.
It is 28 pages long and 12 thousand words.
Our solicitor isn't worried and finds it quite amusing we are a bit concerned that this is going to give a massively biased view to the judge .
Has anyone else had this issue.

We had this. Going through contact disputes and final hearing due in Jan. All exw statements have been lengthy discourses in comparison to p's short statement.

At the last directions hearing her barrister spoke for an hour, in comparison to his barrister's short 'we totally refute this' type summing up. Judge seemed to be used to it, and saw through it all to the relevant points.

I wouldn't worry if I were you. Short child-focused statements always best.

Put yourself in the judge's shoes. When you have plenty of cases to deal with (which they will) which would you rather read, a short factual statement or a 12,000 word diatribe, most of which is probably irrelevant?

irrelevant and repeating herself ever couple of paragraphs.
