[Solved] Mother of Child Lying

If there's been provable DV in the last 5yrs (I think it was 2yrs until very recently) you could try for funding, but your income might take you above the threshold anyway.... I'm intrigued!

I've spoken to the legal aid agency. My mortgage is more than one third of my income so I qualify based on my income provided I can prove DV,,, all I need is a Doctor's note attributing it to the trauma I'm going through. Will keep you posted.

I didn't know that! So mortgage payments are taken into account over and above income.... Thanks for that.

Yep! I called the legal aid agency direct. Went through my case, explained my ex has falsely claimed DV and expressed my disappointment at them funding her when I have had to scrape together the money to prepare for the Fact Finding. Bearing in mind I paid the initial £215 in good faith, explained to the court what actually happened and the court ordered the child be returned home - hence her desperate BS.

They went through my income with me and stated on the phone as your mortgage exceeds more than a third of my income I would qualify for legal aid based on the information I had given them. They then went on to state that if I were to produce a letter from my Doctor's stating the emotional distress this had caused me that this would class as DV on her part... and I'd get the funding.

Got a Doctor's appointment this week so will keep everyone updated. I'm still hoping now my extremely powerful response to Allegations have been received by her Solicitor that they will realize their case has just weakened significantly. I once again intend to offer the olive branch of peace at the next hearing but I think she'll ignore it because she's ultra-possessive over the child however I'm prepared for the long-haul so getting all my ducks in order should there be further proceedings.

Hi there.
Frustrating isn't it.. I have been through a FFH where 6 allegation were made on what is called a Scott schedule, ranging from historical domestic abuse , to stalking, harassment . The normal stuff, which seems to be a common route taken as this then enables legal aid. If you haven't received any allegations for a FFH you cannot reply. I believe this to be the case. I defended myself, whilst my x was allocated a lawyer as previously stated. When I received the Scott schedule that outlined her allegations I then built my defence in the correct format, or as correct a format this litigant in person could produce. In the end all of the six allegations werent found. She had lied terribly, however i countered her allegations by searching through old emails / texts. Dated photos etc. You will be surprised at what trail we leave in varios formats that can prove / disprove any allegations you may face. Like i said and i believe this to be true, that if she is alleging certain things, she must first serve those allegations on you and prove beyond the balance of probability you are guilty of. In my case, a section 7 was ordered where no safegaurding issues were found and a final order was made. She has breached the order twice and just of this weekend when i returned my daughters informed me by way of a hand written letter that she is curtailing our contact. Basically she is still very upset that I have moved on. Some 3.5 years now into a great relationship where my daughter's love my current partner and get on great. So at the time of writing I am about to prepare enforcement action. The internet can be helpful. A copy of the children's act 1989. Latest edition to give you some guideline. The rest is a very unfair in an arena where even though we have parental responsibility our and our childrens human rights According to Article 8. Of the European convention of human rights
( Right to family life) , are being violated every day.
I'm a builder by trade but I love my children as I'm sure you do, and I will fight to the best of my ability in the courts to make sure those human rights are protected, irrelevant of what the x desires..
Sorry if I droned on..

Yep I got 14 yes FOURTEEN points made against me in a Scott Schedule each with 4 or 5 sub points! It goes on for 15 pages in total!!
There's even a general findings section in which there is more nonsense. All the dates are approximate, the majority of allegations are generic.

I've got all the proof in the world via text messages, images of me out with friends away from home on alleged dates things occurred. It's absolute insanity & with the amount of proof I have that her allegations are nothing more than lies I expect her credibility to be seriously called into question!

I sincerely hope so. It sounds as though you have done your homework. From what I've read from various sources it's a long drawn out battle that sadly seats children in the middle of it. That's what we must remain focused on, however difficult or provoked we get. It seems that parenting equality is so far behind racial equality, sexual equality, equality in the work place etc. Unbelievable that in this day and age it is so far behind..Keep doing your magic !

Spot on.

Agreed.

Ok getting ready for my hearing next week. Hopefully I'll get contact back at a minimum.

What are people's opinions on the current status quo? Obviously it's been 8 weeks since my child was taken from her family home she's lived since birth and has been bounced around the houses inc. a Refuge in the meantime.

Will that work for/against me?

It's certainly not going to help her case if your child isn't being provided with a stable home environment - I would certainly stress that and demonstrate how you are able to provide that.

OK so while my Solicitor is going to try and negotiate with hers to end this nonsense, my Solicitor thinks this will likely go to fact finding unless she withdraws her allegations. They also says it's unlikely I'd get interim contact unless she agrees to it. Is that right?

How long until Fact Finding after the First Directions Hearing? Scott Schedules have already been submitted and responded to.
