Had a cafcas phone interview and they decided to do a sec 7 on alligations of suicidal and vilent , all criminal stuff last in 2003 last year ex called old bill for supposed to of kicked a door in , I had the key and no damage no arrest or charge , she called the police last year in June as I would not leave the house , I was cleaning the house as in was a mess and ain't sure if police came or not I wasn't there .. alligations as well I Stout alot and when my daughter is there she runs towards mom , she I 16 months old when she left she could not walk.
I've moved your post into its own topic, given it a new title and put it in the legal eagle section.... hope you're alright with that.
Thanks I need all the help I can get I'm doing bit alone now solicitor useless
Court can seem daunting when doing it without a solicitor, it we will do our best to advise and support you.
CFCASS will probably mention your record in the S7, but when they interview you again just be honest about it but stress that it was many years ago and doesn't reflect the person you are today.
As far as depression is concerned, again be truthful, but also stress that it was a long time ago and you are in a very different place now. Tell them you would be happy to ask your GP to write a letter confirming that you have not had any mental health issues since then and are not on any medication.
Keep everything you say centred around your child and what is best for her, it's her right to have both parents in her life, you have a close bond with her and all you would like is the opportunity to care for her and be the best parent you can be...they like to hear this kind of thing....leave the allegations and mud slinging to the mother and if asked just say that it's unfortunate that your ex can't move on, but you hope that with a defined order you can both put the past behind you and work together for the benefit of your child.
If you're going it alone, I would suggest that you try and attend a local FNF meeting to try and get some support on the matter.
