Update-
So i called the courts again this morning, seems the deputy judge and the district judge are not responding to the courts many emails regarding the whole case. What the lady on phone did say that she or her manager will call me back today as she is going to find out herself just whats going on as this is very unusual and its always due to the fact it was only a deputy judge that heard the case.
No paperwork has been sent in by the ex as of yet so i guess not getting in by the deadlines can work both ways. lady did say this is a court error so alteractions will be made when the order is written up to give both of us time to submit the paperwork.
One thing for sure is this is a very confusing and complicated case that no one iv spoken to understands just what this is all about. That's solicitors, friends, family and even seems that courts and the judge's are now confused by it all.
I'm personally starting to believe the police and the courts have cocked up somewhere along the line and now just delaying time in order to see if there is anyway out of this to save grace.
With what went on in court and said on the day and the judge really wanted to know more or what can only be classed as information and hearsay that the police hold and maybe shouldn't have disclosed to her personally. ( she wouldn't have mentioned it in court otherwise) so everyone is now trying to save their own backsides.
Facts so far.
To obtain an exparte order the applicant must be at immediate risk or harm from the respondent or any child in the applicant's care. This has by her own admission has been proven its not the case, she agreed to my response in every way and that maybe she was over reacting on certain points.
The police have fully investigated 3 times regarding allegations, . Police have taken statements off a few people relating to some of the allegations.
Iv been interviewed 3 times on issues that she is using as evidence and released with NFA being taken.
The police have clearly informed her regarding my past of 20 years ago, (she brought two things up that iv never talked to her about and one I only found out myself a few weeks back) which has now been cleared up by my ex wife that what the police have said to her is not quite 100% correct.
TBH I'm worried its all just going to be dropped or the exparte order dismissed, Not that i want or need to prove my innocents but to be hopefully heard regarding continuing my contact with the boy, I'm hoping to hand in the c2 and c100 forms at the next hearing to get the ball rolling.. I can see the only way of seeing him again now is going to be via a court order. More so after my brother gave a message she sent my boy the other day explaining why she is cutting all ties with my son with her and her boy, claiming now my behaviour recently is scaring them both now ( not quite what she told the court)
cheers again guys
well the courts have phoned back.. We still have to get our statement in by 4pm today , great that gives just over 2 hours to submit and be delivered by post. IMPOSSIBLE
I had a feeling that might happen, that's why I had been urging you to start prepping... you can email your statement across to them to save time.
Is 8 pages too long for this statement ,, nothing makes sence with the order imean i have to submit who i wish as witness's to respond to the allegations that needs to be in a week before her statement of allegations
Oh well she has failed to submit the paperwork on time. Iv emailed the court explaining why mine wont be on time (impossible) due to the lack of information the judge promised to send us. also the final hearing is not till mid June now not beginning of May.. that will make it 6 mths to even be heard from when the ex parte order was made.
This is one big set up IMO
I think you need to chill on the conspiracy theories and accept that a lot of courts are abysmal with administration. They're so over stretched due to the number of litigants in person clogging family courts up and having to write orders that would normally be done by counsel - the system is built for lawyers not for LIPs sadly.
If you haven't had an order in writing and your hearing isn't until that far in the future, I would personally wait for the written order and send your statement when you can & begin it with something like "I respectfully offer sincere apologies to the Court for the late filing of my statement. An order was not received until ?????? and being a litigant in person, I have faced difficulty understanding how to proceed without the order" or something to that effect.....
Cheers Yoda. I do except the courts are busy ect but with what was said in court on the day by the judge and that she wanted this to go out asap so noone could use the fact of not setting out statements properly and getting them in on time against each other.
I do feel this statement was my chance to get my points across and when speaking to the court they said the judge said as we were both at the hearing she is still expecting these statement to be submitted on time. With everything else that's gone on with this case I do feel all is against me.
Thats great wording thanks I will use that for sure.
Cheers again
While I do accept that the courts are busy, they wouldn’t be nearly as busy if there was a deterrent against fabricated allegations. At the moment there is none.
Yes SPD i fully agree, There should be a deterrent to prevent false or frabricated allegations,. And anyone assisting in pushing cases based on false allegations should be made accountable too. I do feel she has some woman aid backing her which I believe isnt helping. Some of the texts iv received is not how my ex would word things for a start and more so with the recent text to my son. ( which again doesn't co-inside with what she has already said in court) and also iv noticed she has referred me to my full first name (never called me that ever only by my shortened name) so I know that text wasn't her own wording.
Oh well i guess its another two weeks to wait to see just what this case is all about when I should receive the case she putting forward and the police statements ect to which I have to reply to..Again shes been given nearly 10 weeks to prepare and I only get two weeks to reply , it a joke
