hi everyone
I been for a fact finding for 2 days which finished today
Yesterday we went to court but the problem was the audio recording which I have described previously on the forum
luckily I was allowed to take voice recording with me which wasted a whole day but we were abl to resume back in afternoon.my ex was cross examined ist.Here in first 5 minutes she stated to changes her statement in front of court she said one thing to another.all the instruments changed in short it was very contradictory from her own statement.2 times she started to cry .ist time I could see the judge being sympathetic to her but she didn't pay any attention for 2nd time.Her brother was her witness and that statement found also contradictory with sisters and brother,didn't match and this was the statement for which my son started barnados and another totally new point was added during the hearing that I hit my daughter i Was surprised judge allowed that can they really do this?.i had my cross examination today again luckily I had a night to work around my statement which I did .I was confused on one question related to 2008 at that time my ex refused to support my ilr .I went back and later she came following me.he asked would you live here if she sported your application i said no .he said you had a son at that time.i think that can go against us otherwise I wasn't confused at all .never changed my statement.The only thing said to barnados and it was planted that son was watching when I hit his mom with a bottle and her drew a picture as been told and its the same point where brother,s and sister,s found contradectory.i think it's the time for my daughter to plant something for cafcass now which she will do.
court is giving judgement on Wednesday.Shall I use the barrister for that or I will be OK as I am not sure ?
any suggestions will be very helpful .
thnx
It sounds like the details of the case have already been dealt with and the hearing on Wednesday will just be about giving a judgement. If you have managed to deal with the FoF then I would say you should be able to deal with this too.
It should say on the hearing letter how long you will be in court on Wednesday, if they have allotted more than half a day, then it might be helpful...you've come this far under your own steam, but it's a matter of how you feel.
Best of luck
hi
just to correct it used a barrister in ffh was not litigant in person as I didn't have that much experience for ffh.
