CAFCASS & family court

3 replies

Firstmom264 · 18/12/2018 22:46

So tomorrow I have got family court with my late fiancés parents (my sons grandparents). My fiancé died of suicide nearly 2 years ago and ever since then his parents have blamed me. There has been lots of nasty texts, and a lot of online bullying (name calling, mom shaming and blaming me for my fiancé’s death). They haven’t seen me or my son in over a year and a half and I only got the paperwork for court 3 weeks ago. My question is... what do you think their chances are of gaining access to him? There’s no doubt in my mind that they would try and poison his mind against me and fill his head full of rubbish. I just want to be left alone and my son doesn’t need anymore changes to his life! Any advice will help! I’m a worrying messSad

@Firstmom264

Firstly - don't panic.

How old is your child? We're the grandparents involved previously?

Do you have evidence of their abuse? Police / screen-shots / texts etc

Sorry op posted too soon.

Is this the first heating? FHDRA - normally what they are called.

Have his parents sent in statements? Have cafcass interviewed you or your child?

From what I know grandparents have no rights. So you can be encouraged to set up contact but not forced to. ?! I hope I'm not talking out of turn and sorry if inaccurate. I guess they must think they have some chance or it wouldn't be happening. Sorry to hear of everything you have gone through OP. To lose your fiance and the be treated in that manner is awful. I hope someone with secure legal knowledge can advise you 💐💐💐
