I’m been in an ongoing child arrangement case for almost a year.
caffcass have submitted there report and it’s completely bias to what they actually discussed with me in their interview.
It recommended I have my children on alternate weeks with one night a week for tea. (3hours)
before the case I was having. My children 2 overnights weekly.
I work shifts, always have so this recommendation is unachievable and my ex knows this.
So, do I contest the caffcass report, even though it’s highly unlikely a magistrate will disagree with it as they are always favoured. Or do I try for a flexible working hours at my employer. If very stuck, as I’ve not had my children overnight since April last year when she stopped contact for no reason.
Any advice would be appreciated
SORRY SEE AMENDED PART, it wouldn’t allow me edit.

Hi,
alternate weekends is very common arrangements set out by cafcass and courts. if courts be difficult about it, you could try to be more flexible with work. for your next hearing you should write a statement in response to the report, and you can state the issues and disagreements you have, with any proposals for child arrangements.
@dadmod2 thank you for the response, I’ve already done this. My ex has flat refused any compromise. I work in the emergency services it isn’t that easy to go flexible working in that profession
