[Solved] C2 application form

hi,

they sound like clowns. you should have a position statement ready, challenging those silly claims. how long has this situation been going on where you only get video calls? is fridays hearing a 2nd one?

The hearing on Friday is a emergency hearing due to the claims of calls not working. I've been having video calls since 20th July, the GP letter was written on the 24th after only two calls and then the following Wednesday an application was put in to vary order after only 4 video calls. Every call has gone very well and the last two he didn't want to get off the phone!

I would say your ex partner is acting out of malice and this is another example of a clear obstruction in your son been prevented of having a loving relationship with father.

You should be seeing your son not just having video calls.

Write that video calls are working very well and son enjoys them so much he doesnt want to go .

Hi

What app do you use for video calls? Have they been recorded?

If so you could reference this.

His behaviour may well have been impacted due to not having an ongoing physical loving relationship with you.

Thanks

I just hope the court sees through it on Friday..

I record the calls on a dictaphone every time, I wasn't entirely sure I could provide them to the court though?

You may not be able to provide but you could reference maybe?

If you ever start them up again, I'd suggest using Skype as you can record the video call itself and download it..

Thanks

I'm hoping the courts won't stop the calls at all. Can they rule without her agreeing that direct contact is more beneficial in the interim or does she have to agree?

if she wants to take away video calls then i doubt she would be interested in direct contact. i think court would want calls to stay in place, and direct contact after cafcass do their section 7 report. has that started?

depends on what judges you get. if they see ex being unreasonable then they can ignore her and make own orders. at a hearing last year, they ordered my ex to give me a private room at her place, to spend time with baby daughter. ex was really unhappy about that and said she would appeal to change it :p

Had hearing this afternoon. Her C2 request was declined.. turned out she had submitted a PSO also and not told me about it. That was to prevent me from removing him from her care or the school. Judge saw no reason to act on that and asked if I would sign a undertaking for this, which I agreed to on the basis that my original court order said this anyway.

Overall went really well, what do you guys make of the undertaking? Basically states that I won't remove my son from her care or the school.

Well done, I am glad she didnt get her way, that is positive news. The undertaking shows that you are being reasonable and not trying to disrupt the child in anyway, so I would imagine that will work for you in the long run.

I was really pleased. Just had the draft order over, undertaking is written into that this time. Is it normal for her solicitor to instruct a barrister because that's what happened this hearing?
