Ex dp, ds, fake name, extra kids, second thread

[Fedupofitnow123]

Thank you for your continued support, I'm starting this thread regarding the impending court hearing tomorrow, if someone could link my previous thread that would ne highly appreciated!

Has anyone mentioned having a McKenzie friend with you in court? They are non qualified people who can accompany you into court - to provide moral support, and take notes. From what I can see your sister could be counted as one, or you can find a volunteer to support you
More information here - www.legalchoices.org.uk/types-of-lawyers/other-lawyers/mckenzie-friends. They specifically mention family courts

@Dpotter oh my days I had never heard of this! Thank you! I will look into it

So I have found we have to write a letter to say my sister will be my McKenzie friend, do you think they will allow her in as it is so late notice (court is tomorrow)

It's worth a try OP. throw anything at it... good luck

Definitely worth a try - you have nothing to loose and lots to gain. After all the notice to appear was very short so .....

Good luck

I have just read your threads. I just wanted to say you have shown so much courage and you are an excellent mother. Your son sounds absolutely delightful. I hope court goes well - you've come so far. You can do this

Thank you everyone! I have written the letter, and just need my sister to print! I hope they let her in! I am very nervous

Saying prayers for you op
I know just how hard it all is
You seem very caring and sensible !! Stay strong x

Thank you! It's strange, last night I had another nightmare about being back there and unable to leave again, and this morning, for the first time, I felt proud of myself for being out of there.

I'm off to sleep now as have a 3am start. 8 months pregnant and 3am starts don't sound so fun!

I'm awake! Thinking of you. Good luck and safe journey

@caffeinefix thank you! I've just woken, need to shower and leave within the next hour! Cannot wait until today is over

Everything is tightly crossed for you lass.

Good luck!

good luck! Head high, waddle proudly

I bet. Take it easy, will be thinking of you.

Good luck OP, thinking of you

Thank you everyone :) I will waddle proudly for sure, that made me laugh :)

Good luck today, let us all know how you get on and know there are an army of us behind you, hopefully that will give you some strength xx

Good luck today xxx

Good luck op! Cannot believe how much you’ve overcome and how far you’ve gotten already x

Good luck OP! We'll be thinking of you today

Will be thinking about you today OP. Stay strong, and remember that you have us to report back to, if it helps, imagine you are recording yourself to play to us later....it will help you say things with guts and power.

Xx

Good luck today. I love the idea of waddling proudly.
