What does this mean?
I have been given contact for 10 weeks in the community weekly then CAFCASS have recommended;
Overnight as per:
I recommend a fortnightly stepped arrangement from 1) Friday to Saturday, 2) Friday to Sunday, and then 3)Friday to Monday.
Does this mean move to contact every fortnight or weekly contact but step the arrangements for 2weeks per step until Friday to Monday?
Thanks
hi,
stepped arrangements mean a gradual progression of contact, e.g a few weeks contact in community, then to 1 overnight stay for few weeks, then 2, then 3 overnights etc
@bill337 thank you, does this to mean contact to happen every 2 weeks?
@daddyx2tt you have to sort out these arrangements at your final hearing, they would set it out in your order as a contact schedule.
