I filed a C100 Thursday last (so, the 14th). I tipped up to the family court in person with 3 copies of the form (one for the court, one for CAFCASS, and one for XP), but was told when I arrived that they don't accept them over the counter, and that I would have to post it through the letterbox. So, I did this, but asked what to do about paying for it - the security guard said I'd have to write that I would pay by card on it, and someone would ring me. Last week, I hadn't heard anything, so I rang to see if I could pay over the phone, to be told that they would contact me for payment. Since then, nothing.
Is there a guideline for how long it should take for them to issue the FHDRA time/date? I know CAFCASS have to do the safeguarding check, talk to XP, DS and us, make their report - I assume if they find anything concerning they bump it up to 'urgent'. The waiting just feels like it's taking forever.
