Final hearing occupation order

6 replies

Boppa12 · 24/10/2022 17:05

Hi there, unusual one I think but my husband suggested I go to mams for free days in July and wouldnt let me back in. He since issued me with non mol and occupation orders and it's been awful. We have children and I've been to court 3 times now fighting it as all lies. It's the final hearing this week. Has anyone been to a final hearing for this and can give advice on possible outcome. I'm feeling positive as all I can really but it's really got to me and was very unexpected. Reading and preparing witness statements when I had the summer booked off to spend with the kids has been awful. I feel in so much turmoil and would appreciate any advice you may have. X

So I have the final hearing next month. He wants this occupation order and will put himself first above me or the kids and now it's up to me to defend myself about lies....just because he wants me out and away from my kids. Has anyone else been through this?

I need to be back in my home with the kids but as hes stopped me for months I'm dreading the judge will class it a status quo now. So horrible all of this.

The courts got a statutory steer in the Children and Families Act 2014 for there to be a presumption of shared care. Unfortunately, combined with much greater restrictions on legal aid to only those subject to domestic abuse, it did cause a spike in divorcing parents making false allegations against the other in order to get legal representation and sole custody but the courts tend to well aware of this.

What is less well known is that it is a significant risk to make false allegations of abuse in the Family court. Parents who do so maliciously often find it is they rather than their ex who end up with supervised contact, once the facts come to light or it is clear there is no case to answer.

Thankyou. We both put in our final witness statements today and his was absolutly baseless. Mine the truth. And the balance of harm for me is being apart from the kids and there emotional needs.
He is being malicious and simply wants to hurt me but I hope the court sees the truth. X
