My ex and I had a court order in place. He had applied to the court initially and the resulting order was everything which I'd offered anyway.
For a variety of reasons, I applied to the court to vary the order. We had a hearing where cafcass recommended no increase in contact, as stipulated by the old order, until further notice.
We then had a hearing in front of a district judge. He initially ruled in the hearing that the planned increase in contact could go ahead in the interim pending a section 7 report and final hearing. Two days later, we received a letter stating he'd reversed that decision based on having consulted cafcass, which apparently the judge didn't do initially. Cafcass report said no increased contact.
Because of this, my son's father has launched an appeal based on process. Although my interpretation is that the judge corrected a wrong decision after he consulted Cafcass.
Anyway, as part of the appeal, he's suggested that I have asked my close family member, who is a senior politician, to intervene and that is why the judge reversed their decision. The implication being that both my family and the judge are engaging in unlawful corruption.
It's not the first time he's made bizarre accusations. In the last hearing, he suggested I was mad and my medical notes were released to the judge.
I know he's clutching at straws and throwing accusations around that are totally baseless. However, we now have his appeal hearing on 2nd January and I just wanted some advice as to how to play this. I feel like his accusations about corruption need addressing but I don't know how. I can't afford legal advice anymore so any advice I'd be really grateful for.
Thanks
