[Solved] What are the chances judge sends her back?

Thank you. Weve noted everything. Especially my daughter mentioning going to her mums house. Exs dad asked if we had heard from cafcass (on Friday) told him we were having a visit this week. Last night my daughter told us she was going to be asked who she wants to live with. My wife got some of it recorded. My daughter reckons shes guessed that someone will be asking her where she wants to live. I messaged cafcass today only for cafcass to say she hadnt spoken to my ex. So this should be fun. I didnt know my ex wasnt to know.

lol. dont bother fishing around for info. will only annoy cafcass. when i had my section 7 report done, after the cafcass interview, lady told me she met my kids separately. report stated that she asked them are they happy going to dads house, made them do drawings and finding out which family members are important to them etc. eldest is 5. at that age they wouldnt expect a child to decide who they want to live with. just want to know if their happy or not.

Its important to keep a record of events, you’re experience is relevant, but outcomes in family courts vary so widely and a lot is dependent on the calibre of judge/magistrates... better to cover everything.

They (CAFCASS) don’t always meet with the children, usually it’s only if it’s specified in the order that children’s wishes and feelings should be sought.

Ajojd... be careful when recording a child, some courts don’t look kindly on this sort of covert monitoring. Try and keep the conversations with your child away from the subject of court proceedings, again it isn’t appropriate to talk with them about it and it might not be viewed favourably by the authorities

All the best

Hi. Just to clarify it was a tiny snippet recorded. It wasn't brought up. My ex was visited yesterday and put across her concerns. Cafcass would only tell us one. She felt my daughter (lo) was to young to be going to a park on her own and we wernt supervising her. However before coming to see us she went to see lo. Lo told her she was upset that we wouldn't let her go to the park on her own. So that was put to bed. The others concerns apparently have been disproved.
However our concerns are rock solid and proven. Cafcass took a copy of the reports and along as she can check her attendance wont be changing the living arrangements 😀

hi mojo, yes I have been keeping records of pick up and drop off times for kids, and any silly incidents that have been happening. put it all into a witness statement, for upcoming final hearing.
