[Solved] Filling out C100 application

Thanks Bill337 for your advice.

At any point did you have legal representation, I am confident talking in court, but the legalities surrounding on what I can ask for, such as indirect contact, supervised contact, unsupervised contact with a family member. Or if Cafcass say no contact really means no contact in any shape or form.

Do you know at any point before we walk into court will the Cafcass officer ask my ex, can you work something out??

Again thanks for your help.

hi,

i had 3 hearings and had barrister for every hearing.costly but it took away a lot of stress and admin work away from me. cafcass was present in my 1st and 3rd hearing. had she been present at 2nd, i reckon it would have ended there. see if you can get in touch with cafcass and court, and ask can cafcass report writer be present at the next hearing. on the day of hearing cafcass do usually speak to both you and ex, to help come to agreements.

but you state that cafcass told you they will be recommending no contact. sounds tricky. i would recommend you hire a barrister for your hearings going forward. some have good experience in challenging cafcass recommendations and convincing courts to go against it.

Thanks Bill337,

It does sound tricky, I've read many articles and spoken to people, going with and
Without legal representation.

Thanks for the reply back will keep you updated as I am about to receive the full report shortly and then go to the second hearing.

Have you had your fact finding hearing yet?

Hi Yoda,

At the moment no, the next hearing is a Dispute Resolution Appointment, on the Court order it says, amongst other things, which hopefully I have satisfied except the Cafcass officer telling me recommended of no contact, while being interviewed, still awaiting the section 7 report.

# To identify key issues and the extent to which they can be resolved or narrowed and will consider whether that hearing can be used as a final hearing. The court may hear evidence at that hearing if time permits.

# All parties must attend court at 30 minutes before the time fixed for the hearing to facilitate discussion????? What could this mean can an agreement be achieved before going into court?

Thanks help is much appreciated.
