[Solved] FATHER IN NEED OF URGENT HELP!!!

Hi All,

If you are reading this post firstly thank you for taking the time to do so.

Let me give you a brief background into my current situation and my need for some urgent help and advice please.

I have not seen my soon for the past 15 months, I had done so on a regular basis since he was born, he is currently 8 years old.

His mother without no warning at all moved herself and subsequently my son 300 miles away without no way of finding her.

I contacted a solicitor immediately who for the past amount of time has been representing me apparently with all my feelings and best interest being paramount. We have had numerous court appearances over the course of this period resulting now with a fact finding hearing scheduled for next week.

I have attended a meeting with my solicitor this morning, who has unbelievably told me that as company policy as now changed he will be needing me to pay for this scheduled court appearance up front. Which with it being a court 300 miles away from were I live and his office is based it means me paying for a full day plus all travelling expenses to him immediately (approximately £1200) which quite frankly I do not have (PLEASE BEAR IN MIND I HAVE ALREADY SPENT NEARLY £10,000 IN GETTING THIS FAR)

So this leaves me with the prospect of me representing myself in the fact finding hearing next week!!!

A little details of the ludicrous allegations of domestic violence being made against me which are totally false, never did happen and resulted in me again like I have mentioned not seeing my son for all of this time.

Some of the schedule of allegations which has been sent to me goes as follows...

Physical abuse to my ex partner on x2 occasions while my son was present.

Physical abuse to my mother and father while my son was present.

Threats to kill, kidnap, shoot, blow up, murder... I think you get the picture

Emotional stress put upon my son due to the fact of me in her words "not being remotely concerned about my son at all since birth"

ALL THESE ALLEGATIONS DID NOT HAPPEN AT ALL!!!

I was arrested once and only ever once in my lifetime because of a phone call that thankfully took place in the presences of my parents that my ex alleged I made the threats of kidnap, kill, murder etc etc. I was arrested held for 12 hours in a police cell and then finally released with no further action.

I have provided the following to court.

My statement that basically says totally opposite of what my ex alleges.

I statement of my mother stating that no physical altercation ever happened + plus copies of texts showing her erratic behaviour and the fact that no mention up until the actual day of leaving.

A statement of my exs sister who lived with us both damming her own sisters evidence and again confirming that the allegations she has made are not true.

We have police records which shows unknown to me that of us both the only person to have a extensive criminal record is my ex notably a charge for perverting the course of justice while on oath.

I have also produced photos of lots of different days out, holidays weekend and family photos with my son from birth up until last year.

I CAN GO ON AND ON!!!

I have two questions for the forum and would to hear your replies and help with them.

1) what to expect in the hearing and what to prepare for before and on the day? and do those who have made statements ie my mother and exs sister need to attend?

2) what do you think of this unbelievable situation? has anybody experienced anything similar to me?

Many thanks in advance to all who take the time to reply, I really do need all the help I can get right now.

A desperate father!!!
