im a 22 year old with a 16 month old daughter who's mother has stopped me seeing her for no reason since Easter it will be going to court soon so just asking if you have any advise or any one could help me on the matter
Hi There,
Are you taking a solicitor with you?
What are you asking for the court to consider for contact?
Darren
Hi darren i am taking a solicitor to court
And I'm after scared care and to get other things settled thanks I would like full care but have bin told that I wudnt hav a chance and it would look worse on me as id b taking her away from her mum
cheers
OK,
Well the first thing the court will look to do is re start contact, that may be one on one, or at a contact centre, )this will depend on the reasons contct stopped) the Judge will probably order this at the first visit.
The judge's do tend to like to get the parties to at least try to resolve the issue them selves before they make a final rulling though, They will probably ask you both to attend a peranting information course, which is free.
They will probably ask you to atten mediation to try and discuss contact yourself.
What has your solicitor said?
When is your court date?
Darren
Hav tried settling it between me and her and shes denied it all plus been to mediation and they cudnt sort it I just want my daughter more and that shes bein brought up right and without harm
cheers
The fact you've already been to mediation will help, though if that was a while ago, the judge may suggest you try again (they say it's worth trying once things aren't so raw)
Hopefully after the first court appearance you will get the chance to see her.
When is your court date?
Darren
