Is your husband getting any help for his depression - I was thinking along the lines of counselling? It might be worth doing so to help him to have strategies to cope before anything happens, rather than having to deal with the aftermath once it already has.
Thank you yes he is, he has ongoing MH issues which he's concerned his ex wil use against him
He's managed some video calls recently with the children but he said they don't even look at him or seem interested 🙁 breaks my heart to think whats been said to them its cruel really
Just a quick question re self representing, we're getting ready for D day.
Will there be court provided mediators in case the courts ask hubby and ex to come to an agreement? or does it not really work like that?
The CAFCASS adviser should be there and generally will try and generate some agreement between the parties before going into court.
If mediation hasn't been attempted, of the mother refused, there's nothing to stop you from asking the court to consider ordering mediation, if you feel it may help resolve the issues.
Was just thinking ahh would be a nightmare to suggest they sit and talk as the whole situation is just unreasonable.
I'm not even sure if I will go into the waiting room because that might instigate a riot hahahahaha
CAFCASS are only phoning the day the report needs to be with the courts!
Will we also be emailed it that day? want it to prepare
