[Solved] It goes on and on

So sorry Lollyrus. Our judge is as spineless and I’m really scared what will happen in April when it’s back to court to see what the pyschiatrist suggests about reversing the alienation. That’s if the psychiatrist completes her reports, it’s mid Feb already and she’s not even started. At the last hearing his judge credited him for his patience ... seriously, 4 years of mental torture, depression, debt and heartache and she thinks that will make him feel better, he needs her to man up and take those children away from the woman who is truly abusing them. Why doesn’t family court see what all this is doing the children, isn’t the whole idea to protect them.

Am gobsmacked lolly. I hope the original Guardian is at the next one & the judge takes hold of this. It's been plain to see the state of things from the get go with your partner's case and I cannot believe they haven't taken a firm hand already. Was any of this in the Guardian's recommendations?

Thanks Yoda

None of this was in the Guardians recommendations. She was against therapy. Therapy has taken place and M did her Oscar winning performance. One session each and psychologist said that’s it! What a waste of time.

Dad is to see child this weekend but we are fairly certain it won’t go ahead as M admitted in her therapy session that child wanted Dad to go to house to collect him (which is not to happen as child is to be dropped at venue) so “he could slam the door in Dad’s face” allegedly.

Psychologist told M that she has been involved in Court many times and child may get removed from her and M’s response was “can I ask why!!” Psychologist did tell M to “get on board” but we know she’ll ignore that.

We really hope the Guardian turns up this time for Court.

Sounds in your favour to now! If the Guardian isn't going to be able to be there, perhaps you ought to be liaising with them about adjourning the date until they can attend as it's not going to assist the Court having someone 'cover' someone else's case - especially when they have gone against their colleagues recommendations despite not having knowledge of the case. Appalling that they sent someone else instead of trying to re list the hearing.

I think I would have asked for an adjournment in the absence of the Guardian! At least the therapy might just have reinforced things though!

To be fair the Guardian’s understudy wanted moved to a more senior Judge but we knew that would delay even more. It was the Judge that listened to the psychologist re the therapy. We will ask for an adjournment if the Guardian doesn’t attend this time.

Are you not with a Circuit Judge for this?

No a district judge.

I'm shocked it's not with a Circuit Judge

The judge wanted kept on the case and it looked as though he was going to take the bull by the horns but in reality, all he has done is delayed it even more. Its down to that judge the length of time these proceedings have gone on because he could've dealt with it but he has faffed around. We have no faith in the legal system at all and its just a money making exercise for all concerned whilst these children continue to be abused by narcissistic parents who are allowed to get away with their behaviour.
