Hello,
Currently in court for child contact order. Ex made allegation of cocaine and help abuse which was disproved by a drugs test.
Now she's making allegations of DV, misrepresenting male circumcision as female genital mutilation though we both agreed to it and shared bill equally. She's also making allegation of talking to women on the internet - I must admit, I did and she probably saw the messages. She has refused contact with my 6mths old son.
Cafcass is to do a section 7 report, we have been ordered to attend SPIP program and for my parental capacity to be assessed.
Suggestions on what to expect. Can the court deny me contact with my son based on these allegations?
Hi there
Unfortunately, making allegations does slow the court process down, but whilst the courts have to take notice and investigate, they are used to dealing with it and just want to make sure the child will be safe.
Adults talk to the opposite [censored] on the internet, there’s no law against it.
Just make your points to CAFCASS, be calm and reasonable and answer honestly. Try not to bad mouth the mother, but don’t let that stop you from expressing your concerns.
Best of luck
