Final hearing on Thursday . What is the order of the day in a final hearing . Sw and ex agree to 1 and a half hours a fortnight supervised by a family member . Asking for 2 hours a week agreeing to supervision as haven't had contact since filing cao in November . Little one is 3 in Dec . What can be expected when first going in to Leaving , anyone with experience of this please . No representation , but ex has . Thank you
I would ask for 3 or 4 hours supervision by a family member then hopefully they let you have 2 hours or at least more than the 1 1/2 hours. I would be wanting to know how long this would be in place for as son/daughter will want more contact and it needs to progress to a lot more contact albeit in a phased manner
my son got 90 mins a fortnight for 4 sessions , then 2 hours and for cafcass to review . Judge stated that the mother needs to grow up and not stand in the way of any progression . He told her to stop posting disgusting posts on social media about my son and start to put her sons need a first . She wanted it to start end of November to give time for her to get her son ready but the judge said 3 days were enough and first contact after 11 whole months is on Sunday . I don't think this is the end , but it's the beginning of rebuilding the bond they had . It's cruel what has happened . He used to see his son almost every other day . It stopped because he no longer wanted to be in the relationship . Any ideas if a 2 year old would remember his daddy after almost a year .
hi Mich,
am glad for your son. it's great he will get the chance now to rebuild his relationship with child. I am in process of building relationship with one of my kids. we separated before she was born. so my contact with her started from little as 30 mins, to 7 hours every 2 weeks at the moment. she will be 2 at end of this month. children have very strong memories.
there's a discussion about it here:
