[Solved] final hearing child contact

Hi there and welcome

If all of the safeguarding checks have been ok, CAFCASS recommend contact and contact has been working well and is consistent I don't think the judge will stop this or limit your contact

There is a small chance that the judge might decide to make what is called a no order judgement, this means that as you and the mother have sorted out any differences and contact is moving forward and working well, he may decide that you and the mother don't need to be ordered to put the welfare and best interests of your child first as you have shown that you can and are working together.

Without knowing any details of your case, I can't really advise you further, but if you read through past threads and check out the stickys at the top of the Legal Eagle section, it might be useful to you.

If you have any specific questions about your case just post in the legal eagle section (our busiest area) and someone will be along to help out.

Good luck

Thank you very much.Yes caffcass are fine no issues.We had a court order in place but she moved and there was no order set in place I applied for court order as she was refusing to give me proper contact. At the moment I have my son every alternative weekend I have to drive back and forth she refuses to meet me halfway .I just want her to meet halfway that's all.

...all you can do is to put your case forward for shared travel, do you have a solicitor?

hi yes i have a solicitor my ex reason for not wanting to meet halfway is she feels anxiety during the handover .She can drive has the most latest car i just do not know how these final hearings work. I just hope the judge orders her to meet me halfway atleas t 🙁

...there's no way of knowing which way the judge will go and there are no set guidelines, it's very much up to the judge on the day.

As I said all you can do is to put your case forward, the fact that it was her choice to move is something your solicitor should argue. If she didn't tell you she was moving and didn't give you any opportunity to make arrangements for contact prior to the move is also an argument that I would use.

I see you have posted the same question again, it might be better if I move this thread into the Legal Eagle section where it will get more attention, the welcome section is pretty quiet compared to,the legal section. I'm also going to delete the duplicate thread as it will be comfusing to have the same topic from the same member running simultaneously.
Good luck
