I'm after some help. I'm sure this subject has been talked 1001 times.
Basically I received a CAFCASS report, the first initial one.. With safeguarding issues.
My ex has stated in the report that I can't see my children unservised because she feels it's not safe due to my long history of mental health.. she's stated in the report, dates I was admitted to hospital for various mental health issues, My diagnosis's etc and even had dates to back her claims.. This is the whole reason for me not seeing our three children.
CAFCASS recommended i file a GP letter with the court with these illnesses and my treatment I'm receiving etc.
Here's the twist...
I have a GPs letter saying: I have never ever been diagnosed with anything she's claimed,never had any mental health issues.. I've never ever been admitted to hospital, ever! Basically everything she's said in the report has been disproved in this GPs letter.
I'll also add, this was the only safeguarding issue raised.. nothing else.
Where do I go from here? What doors does this open.... Surely something like this can be a massive game changer?
I'd like to add, I'm quite worried for her? She's fabricating things like this what are clearly proved to be wrong.. What lengths will she go to? Are my children in danger?
Just produce the letter at the next hearing and the court should be satisfied there is no issues so you've got nothing to worry about, unfortunately these Woman can say what they like and generally get away with it, it makes my blood boil
Is that actual fact? I understand they can say something that could have happened behind closed doors. For something like this that can be proved to be a blatant lie, won't they question her intentions and motive for doing it?
Seems rather strange it would be completely dismissed and brushed under the carpet?
They will not even question her motives, Women can do or say what they want in the family court and they will not get questioned on it at all thats just the way the cookie crumbles and if the Father does the same then they come down on him like a tonne of bricks.
The courts once you have proved you're not a nut job will be more concerned about moving things forward and try to get your ex to play ball so you can have contact with your kids they don't really dwell on what has been said or has happened in the past, if there's nothing concrete to suggest you are a threat to the children then they wont even bring it up.
You seem like you've been burnt by something similar
I think you are within your rights to express your concerns, not only for her state of mind but more so her motives.
Whereabouts are you as far as your case is concerned, and what report was it that was compiled was it a schedule 2 or a more indepth section 7 report?
If you have had a hearing and contact has been denied because of her false allegations in the CAFCASS report then I would seriously consider writing to the court, attaching the GPs letter and asking for urgent new directions.
Did CAFCASS give you an opportunity to answer to the allegations, or did they make their report without talking to you? I would send them a copy of the GPs letter and ask them to amend or make an addendum to the report.
Yeah I've been accused of been a drug addict (on my 3rd drug test all been negative) being accused of domestic Abuse/violence, Child Abuse/violence been accused of been controlling malicious and general kitten killing bunny rabbit boiling scum bag lol I had a awful s2 and s7 report compiles my that shower of s**t cafcass and the courts didn't take much notice of any of it but it meant I didn't see my daughter for 10 months and I still havent seen my step daughter for 11 months it's so frustrating these women get away with blue murder it's unreal.
It was the first initial report, it was the firs time i'd ever spoke to them.. it did state at the end of the report *there should be no further involvement for cafcass
They interviewed me, then her.. then filed it to the court for the next day.
I have my dispute reso in december, the first time i'm ever setting foot into court.
That's brilliant news this should be nowhere near as difficult as my case, that's a god send cafcass saying they are no longer involved the hearing in december will be to try and get you both to come to an arrangement between yourself for the the kids then the court will make an order on that, don't worry about court it is a little daunting at first but once your there it's actually ok, read the posts at the top of the legal eagle section they will give you some good advice on your first court date ect there's also some videos on there too 🙂
That would be a schedule 2 then. I would definitely file the GPs letter with the court and attach a letter pointing out that this is evidence to prove that all allegations made against you and mentioned in the CAFCASS report are without foundation, send a copy to the other party, or her solicitor if she has one.
I wonder if she will then fabricate something else?
Can she do this? Make a new accusation even tho she had the chance to say it in the cafcass report?
Well she can, but the odds are it will be ignored because she won't have the proof to back it up.
