Sorry I don't know what the difference was between cafcass report and a safeguarding letter...I thought this was the report....I only had one conversation with cafcass and they asked me generic questions and sent me this fortnight later.
oh right makes sense now. was first cafcass telephone call and safeguarding letter. its just a formality. Section 7 report is the crucial one. at my first hearing they recommended both parents do SPIP course. can be done in a day or 2 days. about 6-8 hour course. pretty basic. got annoyed listening to other parents just rant about their ex.
try to avoid going down mediation route. if your ex is mad and doesnt want to talk, will be waste of time any way.
We were told to go back to mediation by the judge as it was shuttle mediation. We couldn't agree. The mediator tried to threaten me with court and I told him to basically bug off.
So it was left up to my family solicitor, who is a woman, to help sort something out. My solicitor refuses to talk to the ex as the ex twists things even if things are in writing.
My situation is slightly different as my ex relied on me to babysit my children. When I refused to, as it makes them upset that they don't know which parent they are staying with or seeing when, she started screwing around with contact.
She has a regular 9-5 office job so has no reason to not stick to a consistent schedule for them. She is one of these women who shouldn't have had children as she puts herself first in everything and has turned into a narcissist.
hi,
ok then guess you have to go back to mediation. if ex is not interested, then its back to court again.
