Thank you.
I know it’s going to be a dragged out long affair and it will no doubt turn in to a variation but I’ve been left with no choice really.
Am I right in thinking I’ll need a brief position statement when we attend court?
Hope you are well
You don’t need one, but it’s a good idea to prepare one, to bring the court up to date... just a couple of pages.

Thank you, I’ll get working on it soon.
I guess a little bit of history, what’s going on and how my daughter is happy while she is at mine should hopefully be all I need for now.
Quick update.
I put in the c79 to the court and I have been given a court date in July.
I have also had a welcome letter from cafcass stating that they will be calling me at some point, I’ve started taking notes about what I’d like to speak about but it seems quite lengthy? I don’t want to come across as nit picking at every little thing but they all seem to prove my point about effecting my child and alienating behaviours. Any advice on what’s too much or what to focus on? I’ve got 3 pages of A4 at the moment and I’m not even finished yet.
When my daughter initially refused to see me I contacted the school but had not heard back from them. Monday I went in to the school and surprise surprise my contact details have been removed for the second time in under a year. I will be writing a letter to the head over the weekend as I still have not received a call back from the school! I just feel like I am being pushed further out of my daughters life and now they’re denying me my parental rights despite me having a parental responsibility order.
I went to a MIAM and they’re going to see if my ex will do mediation.
I wrote a letter to my ex offering an arrangement so my child could spend time with their siblings but nearly a week later I’ve had no response.
I wrote a letter to my child telling her that we miss her and sent her a few of her favourite things.
To be honest we all miss her so bad and it really upsets me to think what she must be going through...
I spoke to her councillor and she stated that my daughter has reasons for not wanting to revisit but she cannot share these with me without consent. I just feel like an outsider in my own child’s life.
