This is going to be a long week .... Not much happened today. Ex turned up but only because she has somehow secured very last minute legal aid and now has a solicitor and barrister onboard. She’s still pulling the terrified victim of DV card in true Oscar winning style, just hope the judge sees through it. Tomorrow the heavy stuff starts ... lots of crossed fingers needed please guys ..... thank you x
Good luck brother, I really hope you come out the other side with the strength and dignity for your child's sake, please let us know how you get on and any advice (for me personally, because I'm shitting myself about what's going on with my situation) would be greatly appreciated, stay strong, stay focused and most importantly, keep your fight strictly focused on your beautiful child!!
Thanks DMB. I’m sorry you are going through this too, the guys here are amazing and will give you good advise and lots of support. My partner has been fighting for almost 4 years now, his ex is pure evil. He has 3 beautiful children and he’s never going to stop fighting for them, he cares about them more than he cares about himself. Good luck with your case.
Day 2 was tough but his barrister said it went as well as could be expected. The child witness stuck to his story as expected but implicated his mother in a fairly major deception and his demeanour spoke volumes. Today ex gets to say her piece, she lies so well but only when she’s had time to scheme and plot, hopefully his barrister can trip her up. This is the toughest week ever and the outcome just cannot be predicted, it’s pure torture. I’ll update tomorrow. Thanks for the support, it means a lot x
A good day yesterday, lies and alienation are slowly and cleverly being exposed, and back today for more. His barrister is an angel in a suit, he’s committed, so well prepared and amazing.. Don’t want to say too much and jinx the outcome but crossing all my fingers for a good one.
Not such a good day yesterday. He got a proper grilling from her badly prepared barrister, it’s really knocked his confidence and today is D day. No idea how it’s going, things have overrun a bit over the course of the week and he was due more questioning this morning. I don’t know how long judges deliberate for, I hope it’s not long.
