[Solved] Child arrangement order

Mate, Welcome to my world. Social services are dirty and manipulative people, they will put a lot of children at risk, Of course they will tell you and your ex to keep a distance and dont contact each other. They will tell her you have accused her of these allegations and then they will tell you a different story. Before we know you both will accusing each other and then the social services will be playing the good guy in the middle, they may stop one of the parents from seeing the kids while the allegations are being investigated. This can take years and money is to be made the longer they keep the child away from the father.

If you are able to and want your child also to have a mother, best to get in touch with her and have a dialogue and resolve it out of court. I can tell you now there is no child interest and it is a money making scheme. Good luck anyway

hi pete,

i would advise wait till the babies born and see how situation unfolds. if baby is left with mother, then keep on social services case to make sure the baby is safe. if mother denies you access to see the baby, then you can take legal route.

That's what solicitor says. However social want me to gain parental responsibility on day 1 of birth and dont seem to want to wait until then but legally nothing can be done until birth on my part. They can however get a order to remove child at birth and do DNA to give me parental responsibility then hand her over to me I'm aware that means she will be in care for first few days whilst waiting for DNA but if it means shes safe I'm ok with that

Had the child protection hearing today despite heavy heavy daming report from socail about my ex and saying that they have zero concerns with me taking over the baby they will not open a court case or write a report to substantiate that so I'm left in a position where I'm being blocked from contact from day of birth and daughter will be in danger and there is nothing I can do about it solicitor doesn't want to take it to court as very slim chance of achieving anything without socails backing

hi,

well if court is only option to secure contact, you should go for it. theres a different arm of social workers, they work for the court. their called CAFCASS. as soon as you make court application, then no doubt they will get involved and will look into the local reports from social services and everything surrounding the child. they check police records of both parents etc. you have backing from socials. i think you need a new solicitor. or save yourself some legal fees cash and just pay £215 to make the court application. you need a C100 form. as a last resort can you make any kind of contact with the mother and see if she will let you see your child once he/she is born???
