Hi All,
After a battle over the preparation of the bundle my ex now doesn't have to do it as she got her solicitor to state she couldn't afford it on a low income etc , it's been decided that no bundle will be required for our case at the moment.
my real question is I have provided a very informed statement with evidence on the points I have raised, in my case my ex is in a relationship with a man whom is very violent and an alcoholic
my ex really doesn't have any care for our children, I have to cut their nails, hairs, even clean their ears things she just doesn't bother with, I know really small things but she just does the basic care and when s**t hits the fan they get money thrown at them, LEGOLAND, London shows, pepperpig world etc .. big gestures to make her look like she really cares but it's a cover up for hitting the children proving this is obviously not going to happen,
if people can say what they have presented ect
I was thinking of a short thing on the effects of DV but I am sure the magistrates know this don't want to appear patronising
9 days till final hearing
edited to reduce information to make sure I am not in contempt of court in anyway
Any one sent the courts a skeleton argument beforehand ?
I would consider submitting the skeleton argument roughly a week before the hearing as this may be the only document the judge reads.
Keep it succint.
Why do you have a legal advisor?
Anyways fingers crossed for you.
Think the legal advisor notes everything down and helps the magistrates with what they can or can not do ?
sadly court is Thursday so I will have to rely on the statement that has gone before and the contested evidence and speech I give on the day ....nerves getting to me a bit
Awaiting to see if we will be seen tomorrow as our case could be stood down and the morning slot we were given has now be allocated to another case ?
they have managed to get us in for the same day but another time however my ex or her solicitor have not replied and now he court closes at 2pm for calls I just don't know if I am going to court or not tomorrow :dry:
this rollercoaster is draining ...awaiting call 50 mins to go
