Morning all,
My partner and myself are currently going through the courts after my childs birth farther has requested access after 3 years.
He filed for access at the start of the year and we have been to court twice, but last hearing the judge said he will put the case 'on hold' due to the fact my partner is heavly pregnant. Yet a week later we recieved a notice dated two days after the last hearing that he has asked for a DNA test with a date set for next week.
It has never come into question weather he is the farther, he isnt named on the birth cert as he refused and refused again in court when it was outlined what he had applied for. In both meetings with Cafcass he has agreed he is the farther, my partner has never claimed otherwise at any point.
Has anyone expieranced anything similar? I was looking for some adivce as to what this entials, who covers the cost? What will they need from my daughter? Dose this effect any other part of the case? He knew the case was on hold until after the birth but has gone ahead regardless
Im becoming a little resentful about it all, We as a family should be excited and preparing 100% on our new arrival but having this hanging over our heads at every turn is difficult.
Thank you in advance
Hamish.
