[Solved] Cafcass ( massive issue)

Good morning guys,

I have my second interview tomorrow with cafcass but this time with my son.
She wants to see me with my son for 1 hour

Any idea what are they looking for??
And why she wants to see me with my son as she has many reports from contact centre ,

Is it a good thing for her to be bothered to see me with my son?
Any advice will be appreciated,

Many thanks .

Hi there

They will just watch you interact and how you care for him, just be yourself and let the visit go naturally.

If the visit is at your home, have toys for him to play with and some snack and drink, if he is still in nappies, check that he is clean and dry. Make sure the area is safe and clean and tidy.

If the visit is away from home, take some snacks, maybe some fresh fruit (if you take grapes make sure you cut them in half), maybe a favourite toy and a book. Also a change of nappy and some baby wipes.

Best of luck

Thanks mojo ,
That was a great advice,
Unfortunately contact is cancelled for tomorrow and most likely to be next week don't know when yet ,
The contact will be at cafcass office as they have a play room there.
I really hope it will go well .
Will keep you updated ,
Many thanks again.

You’re welcome, keep us posted.

Hello again guys,

Had my 2nd meeting with cafcass today but this time was me and my son and cafcass officer who will do the s7 report at cafcass office.
My son is 2 years and 4 month,

My son spent 30 minutes with his mum and then me and my son for 1 hour and then my son and his mum again for another 30 minutes ,

My 1 hour with my son went really well,
I brought him lots of winter clothes, Toy , fresh fruits ,juice and chocolate ,
He was happy to have some raspberries,
He had his juice and chocolate , and I helped him to eat some with him as I didn't want to him to eat alot of things not to get a bad belly,

We had fun playing and drawing we were laughing alot and that but suddenly he called his mummy And went towards the door as he knew that his Mummy was at the other room or he knew she is at the building still but i tried to interact with him and I told him after we finish we will go to Mummy then he said ( ok),
I have been seeing him in contact centre nearly 7 month now and never called for him mum but today he did, I thought maybe because he knew she is in the building but at the contact centre he knows that she left,
He called for his Mummy maybe twice during the hour but when I quitly told him later we will go to Mummy then he said ok Daddy .
He didn't cry or was upset or anything,
I felt that might be not good for the child to call for hismummy while he is with his Daddy??

What do you think what cafcass will think about that ?

Rather than that I think the contact was fine we were playing , eating , drawing and laughing for the whole hour,
He is just 2 years and 4 months and bless him he doesn't stop calling me DADDY DADDY DADDY DADDY .

I really hope I will get a good report although my case is quite complicated ,

My next hearing will be by the end of this month .

Cafcass officer said she is waiting to receive the judgment ( we done fact finiding hearing few month ago ) from the court and then she will be able to finish her report ,

To remind you my ex said that last year I planned our family holiday and I planned to leave our son at my country without her consent ,which is a sort of abduction

The judge finding was ( that I didn't plan it but i put pressure on my ex to leave our son in my country)

So basically the finding not 100 % on my side and I honestly didn't have the intention to leave our son away or put any pressure on her to leave him in my country with my parents,

I told them I thought we agreed about that and if my ex wants him back then we bring him straight away and then we brought him back straight away at the time .

But now the finding said that I put pressure on her leaving our son abroad with my family at his second home which was a sort of abduction I think

Now my ex is claiming that I can issue a new passport of his second nationality and will take him outside the country , and of course I will not do that and I gave cafcass emails between me and my embassy asking them to stop me from issuing passport for my son which my embassy agreed about it as mentioned at my previous posts ,
And also asked them to make a prohibited steps order against me not to travel with my son

I don't really know what else to do,

Is any one can expect what will be in cafcass report in terms of my story ????
Do you think my problem has a solution to be able to see my son unsupervised and come and live with me 2.or 3 days a.week ???

This giving me so much stress you can't imagine.

Many thanks Dads .
