So after the breakdown in the relationship the contact and access was all good
Now however, the ex has decided that I was abusive and all the other (utter codswallop)
And now my access has been restricted and contact has been made minimal. (Once a fortnight)
I’m currently building a bundle with personal statements and evidence etc etc
Is there anything (before I’ve received my c100) you could think would be important to add to my bundle?
Or advise as this road is about to get rocky
(I was directed to this site by mr slim)
Hi there
Mr Slim is a bit of a legend on this site!
You need to back up a little, if you haven’t been to court yet, there isn’t a requirement for a bundle, if you and your ex don’t have a solicitor, it’s likely that the judge won’t order the preparation of a bundle anyway.
However there’s no reason why you shouldn’t put together a folder with all your court paperwork, it’s good to have a record of everything, even if only for your own reference.
Try not to overthink too much, just concentrate on your own case and take it a step at a time.
It’s a good idea to prepare a brief two page position statement to take with you to the hearing, also have copies for your ex and cafcass, as well as a copy for yourself. Just a little information on the background and what you would like the court to do.
There’s a lot of info in the stickys at the top of the legal eagle section, including Mr Slims excellent dos and don’ts when dealing with CAFCASS.
All the best
