[Solved] GOT IT ALL WRONG......DEVASTATED 🙁

Im sure there is the option to respond if there are inaccuracies.

You need to write to them and let them know of the parts of the report which are inaccurate.

I would also ask if it went through legal review and why the author has been de allocated.

The Whole order is riddled with mistakes as to the section 2 report which the courts have gone by word for word, the author got de-allocated yesterday when the court order was written, I've just found out the judge wasn't a judge and the people on the bench with him were all trainees.

The original cafcass person who wrote the s2 was a trainee, She actually phoned my Work and requested I should'nt be in contact with any children when I'm an engineer for a service provider, absolutely everyone have taken my ex's side.

I'm still trying to pick myself up off the floor I've been laid here for an hour I can't get my head round it all I feel sick.

The orders I recieved were riddled with mistakes and those were from a judge so no surprise.

Im work for a large IT company and it discusts me to see the qusality of some of the work done by court, SS etc.

You need to raise your points that you disagree with, my onl thought is whether to do this with CAFCAS or at the directions hearing.

Others can advise further.

As it seems to be a section 2 letter you should raise your concerns and ask for a section 37 report.

All only my humble opinion and as always it would be good to get additional input from others on the forum.

Yes mate I'm just private messaging NJ as we speak, I had my first directions hearing last monday and I've received the court directions today, I received the s2 at the directions hearing and they both are full of mistakes.

I can't find out anything from Cafcass as there's no one appointed to my case, they have said give it atleast a week and try phoning them again.

I was under the impression that I had a hearing in 4 weeks but its actually just the date I've got to have the drugs test done by and a few other things also they want reports off police SS ect too, it says at the end of the order that the s7 has to be done by the last week in july and another hearing cant be sorted until after that.

Yeah man I'm going it alone this site has been amazing for help and advice many peeps I know have said the've lost or had to remorgage there houses ect, my ex is representing herself too.

sorry about saying im going it alone that was in reply to another thread lol

Is their a way you can appeal to the court to bring forward the hearing stating the length of time is not in the children's best interest to be without any contact with their dad ? even if you say once you have a clean drug test can they put in an interim while your waiting for s7 report

sorry I can't help with the caffcass staff - I have my own battle with child services much the same report full of all bias opinions no facts and mother is a saint huh ...honestly it takes some strength and courage to battle on but you will do so ,

I wouldn't pick up on every mistake in the report - only those that are important to your case, as far as the court is concerned (if you are complaining to cafcass, then that's a different matter, in which case I would point out every error).

Excellent gents Nanny Jane has said the same really, that woman is a living legend she's had a peek at the order and report and suggested I concentrate on moving things forward instead of dwelling on the court order like you said actd, she also suggested what you said eric start fighting for contact when the drug test comes back negative.

Many thanks guys I'm starting to feel better about the situation now 🙂

You have to take a step back Slim...it's a rarity that we hear someone is happy with their report and as actd says its better to focus on the important issues of your case.

You're going to get the opportunity to respond as the case progresses. The schedule 2 hasn't said no contact but it recommended no unsupervised contact before the next hearing. Once you get the drug test results and they are negative this will clear away some of the caution and you can start to push for supervised contact, and for your own safety it might be better to ask for contact centre contact. You can start working on this as soon as the results are in and filed with them.

The fact is she is opposing everything, this isn't realistic because the CAFCASS report recognises that you both care for your children, so theres a basis for moving contact forward. Try and leave the acrimony behind and base your case on the best interests of the girls and the efforts you have made to be in their lives. It might not seem like it right now but you can move this forward by boxing clever, rising above allegations and counter allegations. Make a point of highlighting the serious and positive changes you have made in your life for the sake of the girls. You cared for and love a child that isn't yours biologically and it takes a good and special type of person to take on someone else's child and give them unconditional love.

All is not lost....it's just the beginning and you can turn this around. x

Slim,

I was meaning to post yesterday afternoon after I saw your post, but got caught up in my birthday celebarations - I didn't get drunk though for the record lol - just had a meal and watched some of the footy. But I wanted to pop on and tell you to keep positive despite what seems like a setback.

Me and you both have been shafted by CAFCASS it seems. Your report is full of untruths, and for me....well I have a report recommending unsupervised contact. The officer who made that recommendation is ill, has been replaced, and the replacement wants supervised contact. Yep, you read it, supervised contact.

So I think we can glean from this that CAFCASS are highly inconsistent, bordering on incompetent. What can we do about it? Nothing outside of court really.

But on the day of our hearings, we can certainly explain our dissatisfaction at the quality and content of the reports. And hopefully open the judges eyes as to why the reports are flawed.

Remember, the CAFCASS officer is only offering his/her opinion, and really if it lacks evidence to substantiate it, it's worthless.

Let's just have faith that the truth will prevail. Justice is truth.

Simon.
