I am 19 months into legal battle with my twins mum one of them I see as per the court order the other I haven't seen for 19 month. this is due to parental alienation. The courts have finally after two separate cafcass reports and my third application for enforcement of the order have decided to believe me and escalated the matter to a district judge and appointed a guardian for the children.
MY QUESTION IS
I submitted my position statement at 4pm today to the court cafcass and there mum. but she didn't send me her statement sequentially and I still haven't received as it was ordered by the judge what will happen now??
Probably not much. If mum turns up with a statement tailored to yours, it will be pretty obvious that she has seen yours before writing hers. You will just need to let the court know at the hearing if this is the case or if she doesn't send you a copy at all.
For future reference, if you are ordered to do this again, you could file with court, cafcass and guardian but don't send to the mother unless court have received hers? Have you checked with court to see if she has sent it to them but not to you?
Glad to hear you're being moved up to a judge and getting a guardian. You should see a difference in how the proceedings are handled. Best of luck
Hi
does guardian really help
they seem to be on the side of Caffcass?
They should be on the side of the child, and as far as I am aware, they have helped in the past.
cafcass are also guardians one and the same I found this out recently, the cafcass officer who did the initial report was appointed as the guardian to my dismay as her first report was ripped to shreds by my barrister. worst thing is once you upset them it can cost you everything as they side with the other instantly
