[Solved] The next last battle

Hi Dad-i-d

I've been away a lot so hadn't realised you were going back to court. Have you got back before a CJ this time or is the novice Cafcass officer and trainee judge applying to this set of proceedings. Wishing you lots of luck.

Best of luck dad-i-d, hope it goes in your favour big time.

I'll be honest, not been around much myself, too wrapped up in my own world and i have been cheating on this site by using the Fathers4Justice site and FamiliesNeedFathers sites to gain other bits of information that i've not been able to find on here.

Regarding the novice / naive CAFCASS worker....yes she is still asigned to this case 🙁 the order says for it to be listed under a DJ not CJ, i have asked it not be put under a Recorder due to the extreme history this case needs a high level of judge.
i will find out next week i guess or possibly tomorrow when i hand deliver the court bundles to court!

Luck is not needed where a narsasitic ex who will stop at nothing to harm / prevent contact from happening.....what is needed is a devine intervention.....because i have lost all faith in the law seeing the truth and honesty when CAFCASS are involved!

I really really hope this works out for you. Some people are so cruel. We are experiencing no contact with my partners child but nothing compared to this level, I hope it doesn't go this far.

Wishing you the best.

It's completely understandable that you haven't been around, you've been on a torturous journey... but at least an end is in sight. I can only say that I truly hope that you find proper and appropriate justice for what you and your child have been put through. You have gone above and beyond what most wouldn't have the strength to persevere with and I take my hat off to you.

I do sincerely appreciate all the help and support you have all given me over the last 5 or 6 yrs since i found this site. the forum has been a massive help and does a great service, long may it continue.

Special mention has to go out to Yoji, actd, Mojo, Yoda, NJ and i'm sure i'm forgetting someone....anyway you guys n girls have been a massive source of support, i will never forget that!

this looks like i'm writing a farewell speach but i assure you that i'm not, i will however be seeing what happens this week and possibly take a time out to reflect on the outcome if it's not what i'm praying for.

in the imortal words of Arnie.....

I'll be back 🙂

good luck d-i-d

Update:

Instead of what was listed for a final hearing, this judge instead of dealing with the issues as a final hearing he has ordered fresh reports as its been over 6mths since the hearing was listed to be a final hearing.
he ordered CAFCASS to speak with (child) to assess if we can get (child) to start to respond to the indirect contact that had been ordered in 2015 and 2016.

Wish i'd had this Judge from day one of my ex stopping contact as and when she wanted....he proper ripped in to her about the history of her stopping contact and the hostility towards contact and contempt at court expectations that she has shown since first broken order in 2010.

She was left in no doubt that this Judge will do what is needed to re-start contact, and as there are no safeguarding issues just mothers hostility towards contact, we have to find a way forward - they were pretty much his words!

Put it this way if i was in trouble and faced this judge in court i'd be expecting the worst lol....i bet she had a terrible weekend reflecting on his words to her 😀

So, if CAFCASS cannot get a way forward within the next 4weeks then he will order a fresh S7 report which will then notify (child) that i have started further court proceedings - mother already told (child) that i'm trying to put her in prisoon and take (child) away from her! -
if this upsets or raises anxiety in (child) then judge will consider ordering psycological assessment of (child) - i'll be pushing for the ex to be assessed as it's her anxiety and hostility towards contact and parental alienation that has attributed to (child) not wanting contact now.

Judge will also likely refuse to order a 91(14) order prevnting further applications - this based on none of my applciations since 2010 have been un-reasonable - all were valid applications due to either contact beings topped or prevented or not being increased in line with court orders written expectations of the court.
Costs will also be considered - but judge noted to her that as above if she had stuck to contact and not kept breaking it then i wouldn't have had to take legal action and therefore costing her money as well as myself, noting that i had considerably more expense in this case than she!

Judge also reserved this to be listed to himself or a previous jduge who had significant dealing in the case history!

so....feeling a little more positive, feeling that this judge knows the ex has just been alienating (child) against me, and feel the judge will actually do something about her controlling and narsasistic behaviour.

i will not hold my breath as i have been let down by CAFCASS and the previous judge just going along with CAFCASS

i hope to give more hopefull updates mid/ late October

So pleased you seem to have made some ground and will be keeping everything crossed for you! Sounds like you have a great judge!

thanks and i could've done with this Judge back in 2013 to put her sorry old saggy [censored] in prison! lol 😉

It's awful that you've had this experience and there's been so little consistency. Hopefully this judge will get it sorted!
