Do you work during week? How old is your child? Its likely to be every other weekend as per recommendation. Why was there no midweek contact recommended though.. play and supper
In the s7 report it says if I live near by then Fri to Monday alternative weekends and shared holidays. There was nothing about mid week contact by cafcass.
The kids are 2 and 6. I work from home and have a very flexible job that allows me to take time of during day if needed to do drop offs etc.
Cafcass also said both parents should do the parenting course. However I already done this and provided them a copy of the certificate, but it seems they ignored it and failed to mention I done it. I did 5 other courses to and all certificates provided to cafcass.
They also said mother said I should give the kids back if I can't manage to look after them during half the shared holidays. My work report clearly stated from my manager that my work allows me to cater for the kids should I need to, plus I have enough annual leave. Cafcass clearly went by what mother said, and ignored my work report.
I have also moved closer so I could get better access ,changed my whole life for kids and location. The ex brainwashed kid who is 6 to say stuff against me like she doesnt like coming to see me and wants to stay with mummy. When kids are with me they love it, my contact centre reports confirm this also.
Cafcass said there is hostility between parents, but is all hostility the mother has created. I've never said anything against her, not even 1 allegation or bad word. I've kept it child focused but it didn't work for me.
