Hi CBM,
I have every faith that you will be able to represent yourself. All you need to remember is focus on your final objective and keep calm.
Try the suggestions from Nannyjane - if you are unable to get support from those organisations - Do you have a family member that could go along for moral support?
Re-read the guide to representing yourself in court - it covers the whole experience from a dads point of view (Yoji who wrote it was in exactly the same position as you)
You just need to believe in yourself a little more. This is no small thing but I totally believe you are more than capable and imagine how you will feel when you are successful.
Good luck - I have the utmost belief that you will do brilliantly.

i think u gave me the wrong link for the psu lol
ICT solutions for UK businesses
PSU Technology Group supply and support technology that is essential to our customers' operational needs, today and for the future, without ever compromising on quality service.
...I echo Gooners encouragement. You can do this, your child is your motivation! 🙂
Try some positive affirmation, rather than telling yourself you cant, tell yourself YOU CAN! If you have a photograph of your child, put it up in a prominent place and each time you pass it, stop and say to your child ...I can and will do this for you,It will be OK...
Sorry about that wrong link...I'll goi have a look for the right one! :}
I missed off the..so I've corrected the link in the previous post and tested it...its ok now so you can go back and try again! 🙂
TRUST ME. I FEEL STRONGER..!!!!
i want to fight
Thats more like it! :cheer:
Hi All,
I've been talking to CBM this evening after his court appearance today and I won't steal his thunder completely other than to say it went pretty well and he is happy with the progress so far.
CBM, Well done, I know you have found this whole process difficult but you have managed to get yourself moving.
Darren
...thats great news! 🙂
Cant wait for CBM to come and tell us all about it!
Well if he hasn't appeared on line by this evening I will spill the beans 😉
please spill the beans !!!!
Well as CBM hasn't appeared online to fill you in himself I'll spill the beans.
I spoke to him last night after court and he is happy with how things have gone.
The case has been adjourned until Jan but in the mean time he has been awarded supervised contact at his ex's mums the judge decided that his ex shouldn't be present while contact happened, he will see his son every other week on a Sunday.
I know he is concerned that they will make accusations about him while he is there so I've advised him to make a note of everything that is said whilst he is there ready for court so he has his account of what happens documented.
The judge challenged his ex quite heavily and wouldn't accept her excuses or her throwing mud at him.
As I've said all I can say is well done and keep it going.
Darren
Thank you very much Darren,
CBM, this is great News. Well done to you, all of us here at DAD have been wishing you well.
Darren is right, be sure to make notes, take lot's of pictures so you can document your time doing various activities.
Well done to you for not giving up.
