Hi people,
I am wanting some advice from anyone who has experienced this.
I have a cross-undertakings hearing coming up. This will be to negotiate the wording (no fact or findings of the allegations)
What can I expect at this hearing? is it straight forward? Will I need to prepare anything beforehand?
Thanks in advance 🙂
hi,
I am not familiar with this process, but something I found on a site:
A cross-undertaking is when both parties to the relationship give an undertakings. For example, if the abuser has given an undertaking not to be violent towards the survivor, and the survivor has also given an undertaking not to be violent against the abuser, then they have given cross undertakings and neither of them can use the undertakings as evidence of domestic violence for legal aid.

have court asked you to prepare a statement? you can check your court papers to see if they asked for any specific statement.
