I am looking to go to court again very soon. The problem is Ive had a few applications dissmissed in the past, and now I feel I could be close to getting barred from the family courts. It would be good to get Ideas on how to make my next application stronger.
Thank You.
This is a tough one Jasey.
Perhaps you could mention in your application some case law concerning PA. and the judgement that it must not be allowed to prevent a relationship between a parent and child. It's your child's right to have a relationship with both parents.
Perhaps you could talk through the welfare checklist and apply it to your own case. The fact that your child is getting older and you feel it important that they understand that you will never give up on them and that means trying always to re-establish the bond you once shared. That when your child is grown you want to be able to say you did everything in your power to change the situation for him.
There are cases where residence has been transferred because of PA. even after there has been no contact for a long time. Tell the court you are not asking for such an extreme remedy but what you are asking for is the courts support to put the situation right for your son. That you will do whatever it takes as far as supervised and supported contact and that if this is supported by the authorities properly then it can be turned around.
Thanks for The reply NJ
You right it is tough! I am a bit dubious mentioning PA in Court because it is not very recognised in family law
I was thinking mentioning the human rights Act article 8 right to a family life that it is being violated for both me and my son by not seeing each other
