Hi I'm not sure what stage you are at in your court process but depending on this, I would definitely be raising this either with CAFCASS or in a Position Statement / Witness Statement. You could ask the court to order further investigation on the matter based on your appt with the consultant and the information given to you.
It could be that this is all financially motivated to claim DLA or other associated benefits or something more serious to do with the mother's mental health.
I agree with Yoda.
I would contact the Court and see if they want any further information submitting. You could request his medical notes and forward this to CAFCASS to ask that any allegations of autism now be disregarded. There is also the very real possibility that this type of behaviour will cause long term issues for your son.
The easiest way is to write an email to Court for the attention of the person overseeing your case.
In short: Get this stamped out quickly.
Agree completely, this must be raised with the court immediately. If your son has support worker then they should also be made aware. You will need permission to file further evidence with the court and as has been said, write directly to the judge who was sitting at the last hearing.
It might also be a good idea to discuss this with your sons GP and keep the school updated too.
All the best and please do keep us informed of your progress.
Thanks k you everyone. I've just got all my sons medical documents and have found the proof of his mum in one text saying he is autistic and then another saying why would I tell you he's autistic when he isn't.
His mum is being unusually nice to me and my partner.
We have court on Wednesday.
I've just completed a position statement with help of a mackenzie friend from the Internet. But we are unsure whether to ask for residency to be transfered over to us while the section 7 is being completed. I don't know whether she will withold any contact if the court says no?
I've sent you a Private Message.
I think it would be appropriate to make the court aware that you would like your son to reside with you whilst further investigations are ongoing, with the matter of residency decided upon once the court has all the facts. You could ask if you need to submit form C2 for a further application within the existing proceedings to cover a transferral of residency. Also mention that if the court decides to leave your son with his mother whilst any investigations are being carried out, that you would like an interim order for contact to continue in the meantime, as you fear that due to the sensitivity of the disclosures you have made to the court concerning the mothers action, she may prevent contact which would be very damaging for your son.
All the best
Can I have some advice please!
Been at court. Ushers wouldn't take my statement to magistrates. Gave it to Ex.
None of them read anything about my concerns. Dismissed everything even with proof! But didn't read any of my proof anyway!
Nothing was ordered at all.
What do I do now?
Hi Steve
Sending you a pm.
This is very common. Appeal and complain.
I've pm'd you thanks
