Hi all,
I have said before that my cafcass case officer has had an unfortunate bereavement and has been off work but didn't know what would be happening with my section 7 report. However 2 weeks ago I had a letter off cafcass that they have sent to the court requesting an additional 4 weeks for the report. However I'm still yet to hear off the court and my next hearing is meant to be next Friday!
Obviously this hearing will be pointless as nothing will have been gained in the meantime so will i be having a new court date come through or will I have to attend what seems a pointless hearing. I may stress that its been 4 month since i have saw my daughter and a further delay is not acceptable.
My officer is back to work today does anyone have any advice on what to say in my interview ( All the allegations are false ).
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
I feel like this post is my situation, just minus the bereavement, went to court november, got court in 10 days and heard nothing, paying for barristers left right and centre and they dont say anything that i couldnt say myself. Just keep your head up
Hi mate,
From what they said to me on the phone they told me that a month wouldn't be enough for them to finish the section 7 report?
Have you not tried contacting cafcass asking why you haven't heard from them? This is what I had to do to get the ball rolling with them (persistent phone calls).
My case is being run by cafcass Birmingham just give them a call at least you'll know then?
Best of luck
