Cafcass spoke to my youngest. My youngest is only 6 and said she hates coming to visit me, and hates seeing anybody on my side of the family. 

Now I know the mother has coached the kid to say this. But cafcass have noted this within their recommendation. Where do I go from here when I attend my final hearing?

My contact centre reports show the kids having a great time with me and lots of fun when they see me. We personally have fun when together and I do lots with them  how do I approach my final hearing when cafcass have noted what my kid said.

hi,

do you know if cafcass officer will be at final hearing? I would suggest you make lot of mention of your positive contact centre reports and how you find it strange your child is saying negative things about visiting your and your family.  is the section 7 report complete and have you received it?

How do I get cafcass at the final hearing if needed?

The section 7 report is complete but I havnt received it yet. Should they send me a copy or its goes straight to the court, then to me?

hi,

what usually happens is s7 report is out in time for 2nd hearing. and if agreements can't be reached, some times either a parties lawyer will ask for cafcass officer to be present at the next (final) hearing to discuss the report or judge may want it. so you could ask judge can the author of s7 report attend the final hearing to discuss report and help reach agreements.

cafcass will send s7 report to you, court and to your ex.

Thanks Bill. My first hearing and final hearing are only a week apart, due to dates getting reshuffled. I dnt know if cafcass would attend court at such short notice. I know the ex wants me to have limited access she said it outright to cafcass
