Partner's final hearing is approaching over the next week, tensions are running high and lots of paperwork taking over our house.
Would just like to say a huge thank you to everyone that has sent messages, replied to posts and generally been supportive, it's been a long time coming π
Hi 1626,
Yep, I can totally sympathise with you....:)
But, your other half is a lucky man to have you and your support and I am sure you will
have all the paperwork ready and prepared ahead of court.
I would like to wish you both all the best and fingers crossed that the outcome of
the hearing brings the news you both want.
Good luck
Kirsten
I recommend Ibiza for a holiday lol :woohoo:
Cheers guys!
Eric - good luck to you guys too!
Slim - we might have to come watch you DJ, sure I can still party if I try hard enough!
Will let you all know how it goes. On the plus side, if anyone needs help with bundles, let me know π
I can only thank you 1626 as you have been a great help to me to during this awful time. Our situations are similar as you know. having went through it all today and got a positive outcome, my overriding advice would be go in there, get your partner to speak passionately from the heart. Lawyer speak will never defeat the enduring genuine passion of a father who simply loves his son/daughter and wants what's best for them.
Very daunting I know but I surprised myself how composed I was once it got underway. I guess the mind set is one of Id normally be nervous here but there is to much to lose to let it interfere. I have been much more nervous doing a presentation at work which is nothing in comparison to what is at stake for us dads. An inner calm descended as I guess my sub conscious kicked in determined to right the injustice. And it worked! Its by no means the end game but in comparison to how I was before im like night and day..
Even last night I was doubting I would get any form of result and im sure you guys like anyone will have similar feelings like that as the day approaches but you two will get there.

Thank you BD, got your pm, yay for you and your lad! You're welcome, any time you need a chat, you know where I am π
I think the waiting is probably the worst bit, that and knowing I can't go in the court room to support my partner. He's got a fantastic MF though and his case is very strong so here's hoping!
