[Solved] C100 Specific Issues Order

Oh one thing I did want to ask . So my case for the CAO will be based around texts that show the ex is only denying contact down to money ( I meet and exceed the Csa amount )
So what’s the format when presenting copies of text etc to court . Do I need to use the same headings , put the case number on the document , number each text and so on ?

Have you been asked to provide a statement for the next hearing?

Position statements can be filed at the hearing, without prior order from the court. But can’t have evidence attached. The type of statement that allows for attached evidence, such as copies of texts, screenshots etc., is a statement that’s been ordered by the judge, this type of statement can be a lot longer and there will be a specific date that the court want it to be filed by.

In a position statement, evidence can be referred to, stating that you have the evidence with you, if the court wishes to see it... or that you have it with you and ask for permission to file it.

There is a specific way to refer to attached evidence, for instance if you were to say, “....and I have copies of texts that xxxxxxx sent to me, on such and such a date, that refer to ...... which I have attached [CD1]

[CD1] is the reference number which consists of your initials (in this case city dad) and a number; the number corresponds to the 1st piece of evidence, so the next attached evidence would be referenced as [CD2] the next would be [CD3] and so on. Hope that makes sense! Strictly speaking you would use an exhibit sheet as a frontispiece to each separate piece of evidence, but it’s not strictly adhered to. If you require a template though, I can link to one.

Yes if you could that’d be great . I just want to have as much prepped as I can in advance . Not been asked to provide any statements but trying to do as much of the leg work as I can
I’ll have the texts ready to be exhibited if the court wants sight just incase

Urgent hearing on Wednesday for an hour 🙂

PLUS - in late August 1hr for first hearing dispute resolution appointment (FHDRA). The letter also mentions CAFCASS, S7 and bundles etc. What is this hearing for? To formalise what happens on Wednesday?

hi puma,

hmm its weird that cafcass S7 is mentioned all of a sudden. wonder if your ex made new allegations? find out what is going on at your urgent hearing on wed. maybe court wants to vary your original order, to add passport/holidays into it. Hope it goes smoothly for you.

It’s good that you’ve got the hearing quite quickly, I’m at a bit of a loss myself about the mention of S7... that’s somewhat premature!

The reason you wanted an urgent hearing was to ask for the situation with the holiday to be decided, I would have thought a follow up hearing in late August would be too late to tie up your issue with the holiday.

Hopefully there will be some more light shed on Wednesday. Best of luck.

Interesting day!
I did not get the order.....
My son doesn't want to go, i explained my ex is influencing him as his reason when he told me was "his freinds would laugh at him for going to Romania". Anyway after an hour of 'he says', 'she says', they ruled no order will be made as my son's wishes are not to go on holiday.

hi Puma,

how old is your child? i hope your doing ok. so you already have court order in place to see your kids. i would have thought that as he does see you and stay overnight with you, then he would have been happy to go on holiday with you, if you have spoken about it to him a couple of times in person?

That’s such a shame, I’m sure he would have had a great time. It’s quite common for kids of a certain age not to want to go off on holiday with their parents... perhaps when he’s a bit older, he may change his mind.

I’d talk to your son about it, let him know that as long as that is what he wants then you are ok with it too. If he is being alienated, he will be feeling bad about it... and very confused.

All the best

Unfortunately, this decision I fear will make my Ex now realise that if she can get my son to not want to see me, and create a scene at pickup (school), then I won't be able to see him or enforce it.

The issue isn't the passport, its years of negative influence, emotional/mental abuse. No one will do anything about it until my son can't cope and has an outburst at school. Children services were not interested in January when I made them aware my ex was talking to my son about [censored], She emailed to say my son told her he saw me having [censored] with my partner during the day, and I showed him indecent photos on my phone. He said to me that his mum met someone who knows my partner, and lots of men know her. All really disturbing. So in the end I take these allegations against me to Children Services, and they did not investigate or do a thing. They said they spoke to the school, and my son is fine at school, so they have no concerns. I met with the head teacher and they didn't receive a call from children services, but said they don't have any concerns about my son. If he had bruises, they would investigate, but if you think your child is suffering mental abuse no one cares! So sad!! Its no surprise that children self harm or worse!!!

I just have to continue being there for him, deal with his issues and hope that as he gets older (now 11) he is able to see through the influence....Another option is to contact a mental health charity to highlight this and see what they can do???

It’s awful for your son, but he knows you have his back... at 11 he’s old enough to have some insight into the situation with his home life. He will be feeling torn, he will be feeling guilty too probably, so you’re exactly right to understand that he needs you to be there for him. All you can do is to keep being his Dad, until he is strong enough to start speaking up about what he wants.

All the best

I know, thanks
