Fact finding hearing in the family court

[JoJo2106]

Just wondering if anyone on here has ever gone through a fact finding hearing in court and could help?

If the other person has accused you of something but their version has mostly been twisted to make me look bad, if I partially admitted to something but don't admit to their version will the court not bother dealing with that allegation as I have admitted it partially. Or will they still need to deal with it to find out who's version they believe?

Hope this makes sense lol x

If you admit it, they don't need to discuss it further, it'll just be marked down at the FFH as a fact admitted by you.

@JustAnotherLawyer will that work the same if there are 2 different versions to the story though? My ex partner had told his version which has been fabricated a lot and I have made a statement giving my version. I have admitted partially part of what he has said but it's a different version obviously.

So was wondering if the court will still look into that as even though I have admitted something if doesn't tally up with his version.

It depends on how material the difference between the two versions is (and whether there's any evidence to support your ex's version.

Sorry to hijack this post but I also need advice on fact finding hearing listed for end of August. At hearing back in march, I was ordered to submit Scott schedule and statement of evidence within 3 weeks. Applicant (the father) was supposed to either admit or deny the allegations 3 weeks after receiving Scott schedule. I am still waiting for this! He is legally represented and I am not. Neither he nor his solicitor have requested extra time as I have called the court several times. Can I ask for it to be vacated based on fact he hasn’t even bother to comply with order when it was his application in the first place? What can I do? I do not w ant to pay for a barrister if he doesn’t even bother to turn up for the days hearing? Many thanks
