When a judge goes against Cafcass report

[ishapp1]

So yesterday was the final hearing, I was convinced the judges will go with the recommendations that the Cafcass officer suggested... I searched the net far and wide and it was disheartening to see that it was rare for judges to not go with Cafcass report, I gave up the hope of ever being a full time mum to my kids...
At the beginning of the the hearing, my ex's barrister crossed examined the Cafcass officer in less than five minutes with 3 questions
1: why didn't you press the children more for why they want to be back with mum?
2: why are you recommending our client to go on a course for his abusive behaviour?😩
3:how long would the course take and where?
My barrister spent an hour cross examining the Cafcass officer, I lost count of the number of questions, she was forced to refer to every evidence in the bundle that she had initially refused to look at ( this officer knew I was self representing myself in previous cases so she was not expecting this for sure, she took advantage)
When my barrister rest my case, the judge looked at the Cafcass lady and asked? So Miss...., would you agree with mother's council that had you looked at all these evidences and investigated her side more thoroughly the outcome of your recommendation would have been different from the one you proposed for children to continue living with dad?🤔 She shamefully replied... Yes😒 I would have made a different recommendation🤗
So I am officially part of the few that got lucky to have a judge throw the Cafcass officer's report out and order a different Cafcass officer😳
Children would also have a 16.5 guardian ad litem. I get more contacts with children unsupervised and moving to weekends and half holidays until next final hearing...

So for anyone out there who is facing the problem of a biased Cafcass officer, just go through every paragraph and dissect each error, I was lucky that everything she lied about I had a piece of paper to refute it, my solicitor didn't advice me on getting more evidence but I made it my business to cover all areas eg Cafcass officer like I predicted would lie in court that she exhausted all resources to come up with her conclusions ... She never contacted kids previous school to check their previous attendance, wellbeing, progress or the support they would receive if the judge was to order the kids to come back to me😶 She lied that she contacted the school before my barrister slapped her with a letter from the school that I collected from the school on my way to the hearing that confirms she didn't make no contact😝 That was the moment she realised... damn this woman was right when she told me at our meeting that she would do all she can to get her children back🤗

Hello Justeu,

I went for the final hearing and my barrister who soon as she saw me said she was keeping my case on so I have her for next hearing.

So like i said I went to the final hearing and she actually turned up this time with a barrister, my barrister basically said she had to go for the ICFA programme or she was filing for a fact finding hearing for alienating. So everything was agreed for this programme to go ahead. Now this where it goes from bad to worse I had my.phone call from the provider of the programme everything seemed OK and was preparing to start the course a few days later I received a text to say the programme can't go ahead as mam has disclosed something what needs to be discussed at court.


A few days later I received a phone call from the police to say that an allegation had been made against me again and they have done there interviews and there Is nfa and the case is getting closed and dhe was practically begging me to phone the local authorities (which i did) so I am now back to not having any contact with my boys I am allowed to write letters to them as that was previously court ordered that's all cafcass have said and he is waiting for few calls before he asks mam if she agrees for ICFA programme to go ahead.

A few days after this call I received a phone call from a domestic abuse charity saying they have received the police report and asked if I need support the thing is this charity have been working with my ex and supporting her I have never or will I ever be abusive to anyone and I even have the support of 2 of her daughters as they don't agree with what she is doing to me.

So I am back in limbo till back at court in March but I know there something going on in the background but cafcass won't tell me anything.
