Sorry for all the questions I keep asking, I am truly grateful for the help.
So, we have a date for an enforcement hearing but it's not for 4 weeks which is such a long time. The paperwork says that Cafcass will be involved for safeguarding, this worries me after his last run in with them. Is it normal for them to be involved for an enforcement or is something sinister going on? His ex has made more false allegations and threatened to start proceedings of her own to vary the order to reduce his contact, as far as we know this hasn't happened yet. She's been invited to respond to his application which I think is normal procedure.
Your thoughts, help, advice will be very much appreciated.
Thank you
Hi There,
.
As far as I am aware Caffcass can be involved in any case, but it could be that the ex has made some allegations, it's difficult to tell.
.
When I went through court there were no allegations or issues but they still got involved.

CAFCASS quite often produce a safeguarding letter for an enforcement hearing, they will do a telephone interview with both sides and then write a letter of recommendation to the court.
You need a brief position statement giving a little background on the case, a list of all the breaches, what you think these are motivated by and what you would like the court to do. Remember it's not a statement of evidence but take evidence of any breaches to court with you so that they are available should the court wish to view them.
Good luck!
