i have my 3 day hearing in progress.
the first hearing i got my first overnight, ex tried to block it but district judge said that its just as important the kids spend time with me as well.
my barrister has also asked to cross examine cafcass office. she went against me and sided with mother, when i have a totally clear slate. my final 2 days are this week, kinda nervous but im fighting for more than the cafcass recommendation.
What was the CAFCASS recommendation? If you dont mind me asking
they gave me 4 nights every other weekend. but ignored me telling them mother is alienating me. however this was evident in their report when they spoke to the my youngest because she said her mum has told her all this.
cafcass also ignored the fact i did courses, said both parents should do this. i also provided evidence. they also ignored my suggestions for diferent parenting plans, and just concentrated on the one that wouldnt work.
i have a flexible job, live near by. where as the mother hires a nany to take kids to school, but cafcass was fine with that. if anything i can do more than the mother.
Why the [censored] do cafcass do this?
In my safeguarding letter they totally ignored everything i said against the mother and focused on me.
cafcass do wind me up too. I showed them various pieces of evidence which show my ex was lying and they did not include it in the report. I called them and asked why they didn't and their response was "we have to seem impartial, we did highlight she lied about police call outs though" I said I would prefer it if you would highlight all of the lies she has told but they refused. I have applied to vary my order recently and cafcass are to be involved again and I know now new lies will come up which i will have to defend.
