Child/family court - section 37 request

2 replies

I feel sick, I have been dragged through the family court for the best part of 3 years now.

I have complied in every way, I have done everything I can, and now a section 37 report as to wether my children should be removed from myself and ex’s shared care has been ordered.

I wish there were safety concerns but the crux of it is “because we cannot communicate” - surely the same is an absolute mockery of the system? This is not a reason to remove children from their parents? I feel sick to my stomach.

I can prove that I have paid for and attended mediation numerous times (he has refused to attend) I have so many emails proving my reasonable nature in trying to come to a resolution. I feel like I’m going insane I truly do. I can’t legal aid, I can’t afford legal advise. I am completely stuck and absolutely terrified.

What are the main issues re. communication?

My understanding is a section 37 will explore all options and which would be best for the children. This would include sole Care for either parent rather than joint, contact etc. It would not be that the children are removed fully. As long as you can show you have made every attempt to deal with the communication issues then it maybe that a child arrangement order will be made for one parent and the other has set contact times.
