I'm sh**ing it about tomorrow. Its a child arrangements hearing. We had an urgent hearing to prohibit him taking the children abroad and this is our first normal hearing tomorrow. I had to file a statement, he had to respond. He's written a 30 page response including photos of us happy, fathers day treats etc. I very stupidly didn't write lots on my statement and panicked he'd be upset about seeing the facts on paper. I stated the facts since separation and what caused the separation.
He has responded with the most infuriating lies stating how he gave me loads of money, I reported the assault because I was angry he wouldn't give me more money. I didn't care about the children's education, I've always had toxic relationships. Absolutely everything is a lie and the total opposite of me.
Cafcass said no contact for now (from him) until fact finding is done. This will be decided tomorrow. He wants every Sunday and 1 overnight alternate weekends. He's opposed our holiday and I'm not sure of his position on the lives with order.
He's stating if I'm telling the truth about the abuse why did I agree to child contact.
But if I don't agree I'm purposely putting barriers in the way of their relationship. Can't win.
I'm scared about tomorrow, I don't know what to expect. I do know he has got himself a new top solicitor and will come accross as being reasonable and charming whilst attempting to paint me as mentally unstable (as he's suggested).
Any advice from people who have dealt with abusive/narcissistic partners in court??
