I split from my ex partner in 2016 and had weekly contact with D , then in 2017 when I entered new relationship with another woman an allegation of serious sexual nature was made against me by ex partner regarding D , this was NFA and contact resumed, contact was stopped again 2018 I then applied to family court and another allegation was made during application. Second allegation NFA
Court order for contact put in place 2019 after Fact Find, all clear, Judge not happy with ex at several points. - everything ok since regular contact.
Monday this week, arrested "Step father allegation that D was assaulted 3 years ago during overnight stay with me! attend police station, released on bail for 1 month. D not yet interviewed. Contact was going well recently being given more contact than ordered stated, step maybe jealous.
Date of recent allegation odd, considering 3 years ago, D did not have overnight stays with me then as second bedroom not decorated, no bed, so she stayed at grandparents.
Family Law solicitor (who was present during previous hearings) contacted and informed me to wait until investigation completed then apply to enforce order
Has anyone else been in this situation? with historic allegations just appearing out of the blue over years of contact? Should I be worried "throw enough mud at wall" scenario , hopefully they will see through it.
I feel devastated and harassed
Hi,
I have not experienced something like this but I suggest you follow advice of solicitor and apply for enforcement order once investigations are over.
I don't think family court will take historic allegations seriously when they have already been looked into.
