Hi. So basically me and my ex been in court since last year May over child arrangement. Since December my ex started making new allegations against me and my family,so serious, that police/ social services were involved. Obviously they not taking any futher actions because he is just making things up without evidence,witnesses. I believe he has delusions and requested if he could get psychiatric assessment, as I am afraid his long term cannabis use has caused this to him.
I have legal aid, he represents himself and doesn't have a solicitor.
Today at the hearing I was told I might have to pay in towards the costs of this psychiatric assessment! (As it is probably won't be included in my legal aid)
I was told that they will probably split the cost between me and him. Do you this it's fair or correct?
I mean I am a single mum,and he has been making all these allegations, out of nowhere...I am still liable to pay the assessment?
Isn't it supposed to be his responsibility as it is his mental illness caused by his careless use of cannabis?
