CAFCASS not checking father's lies

[NooNooMummy]

Had another telephone interview with CAFCASS. Am shocked and very worried that CAFCASS seem to be accepting father's lies about me and about the situation. What can I do?!!!

I've already provided documentary evidence that shows the extent of ex's lying. But they seem not to have read any of it. Am alarmed that these facts are going unchecked and that lying ex's statements are being believed or at least given the benefit of the doubt! I appreciate that CAFCASS are overworked but it's my daughter's well being that's at risk here - I've already experienced a court order being made hurriedly without reference to facts established at previous hearings...

So, CAFCASS's s7 report will be delivered next week and I have a week to respond to it but surely the damage will already have been done once the report is written and my response to it will have very little effect?

And, I end up coming across like the deranged, hysterical woman. What can I do?!!

Calmly and consistently state your child focused position. In my experience, CAFCASS take a very neutral position during the investigation. The report doesn’t necessarily reflect how they came across during the investigation. This is a good thing. It means they are not biased. They aren’t there to be on your side. They take the facts and make a recommendation based on that. If you have factual evidence that they deem relevant, that will go in your favour.

Thank you
