Hi All,
just an update.
I was arrested on Saturday 19th on suspicion of assaulting my daughters mother. After spending 10 hours in a cell or being interviewed all charges were dropped and no further action taken. This was due to evidence I provided and background on mine and ex's relationship.
I have court in over a week, should write to court and advise them of what has happened? Or wait until court date and tell them there? Also is anyone able to advise on their likely response when it is bought up in court next week. The evidence I have provided and ex's actions have highlighted her mental health issues.
I should also point out, she has failed to file a letter from her GP regarding mental health previously.
I have responded on the other thread.
Just provide the court with all the information and leave them to draw their conclusions. If you push too much about her mental health they may see it as an attempt to discredit her. By all means mention that you haven't received a copy of the GPs letter that she was asked to provide, but again leave it to the court to decide what to do. She may have sent it in without giving you a copy.
Try not to get bogged down about what she has or hasn't done, just concentrate on what you need to do. Believe me, rising above it will earn you points and will demonstrate that you can remain calm and reasonable and are child centred.
Yes mate I would not bother trying to get the courts to look into her issues just concentrate on building a solid case for yourself the courts really won't listen if you try and discredit your ex.
Good luck
