😡 hello all dads on here, advice please, ok as some will no my story, im seeking child contact, and id very much like to here from dads, that have gone to court to fight to see there children, and self represented them selfs, i must first say that my ex has made a shitload of nasty alligations against my, self, abusive, domestic violence,and harrasment, and other, ect, so untrue, so did any you guys out there do it your self, even going up against all sorts of exs nasty games to keep you from your child, seems to be all solicitors are interested in is money?? and i think in the interest of my child, my money is way better in a bank acc, for her in the years to come, surely thats in the childs best interest here, i will say i have no leagle, no how, and god only no what ill be up against , i guess her ,, the huns, solicitor will rip me to bits,, all the while im trying to be calm, she can prove some things like harasment, even tho, ill not call asking about baby, is that,, and writing letters , ss is involved aswell as ex got her other child to say , lies to them,, really need to talk to somone please whos been in it,, and , outcome,, thanks very much indeed,
I can understand you concerns, but family court isn't quite as adversarial as you think, many dads self represent and the courts are used to this. Lots of ex's make false allegations and the courts are generally pretty good at sussing out liars....although don't expect any form of punishment for her, for putting you through all this.
Remaining calm is the best advice I can give, also reading up on the court process as much as you can will help too.
The fact that SS are involved with her other child will be reported on to the court and you will get a chance to argue your case.
thanks but im dreading it,
It might be worth attending a Families Need Fathers meeting in your area You will be able to get some face to face guidance and support on self repping in court and meet some other parents in your position.
Best wishes
Going to be doing the very same thing. Im about to start mediation to be able to have my daughter in more fair circumstances. I dont expect her to agree to anything in mediation, as she thinks she holds all the cards. im going to be representing myself in court after that. I feel quite positive about it as all her arguments are mostly emotional and irrelevant to our daughters well being. I think the judge will see straight through her. And i think youll be pleasantly surprised too. just keep to the facts and as the other dude says, keep calm and level headed. And dont get dragged in to irrelevant mud slinging from the Ex.
