Sorry to keep posting on here!
Ive just had another thought where I think people here may be able to help!
A little background.... I had my initial hearing in November where a section 7 report was ordered with no contact with my 12 month old daughter in the mean time.
However the week before christmas my ex unblocked my number and asked me if i wanted to see her for the week (After all the false allegations of DV). This is doable as I was on my break from uni so after my solicitor said I could I saw her for the week!
However shortly after christmas I was blocked again for "being online on whatsapp at 4am on NYE". I then made a facebook account a few days later to ask how my daughter is. The next day I have the police at my house giving me a PIN for harassment. I explained to the police whats going on and they seemed to understand and side with me!!
However is this PIN something I need to worry about ? I haven't contacted her since and have changed my phone number!
Thanks
It's likely the PIN will be referenced in the S7 report,
It's important that the court is made aware of the fact tha she contacted you and agreed to contact with your child, as this flies in the face of her allegations of DV, she can't say you're a risk and then hand over your child, hopefully the court and CAFCASS will see it that way too.
I would prepare a brief position statement to take with you to the next hearing, to tell the court about the developments with contact at Christmas. Be honest about the PIN and explain what happened and why. Take screenshots of any texts/emails you have from her, agreeing to contact, and mention that you have copies, f the court wishes to see them.
Totally agree.....just as a side note.....don't attach copies of your evidence to the position statement. You can say that you have it with you (make 3 copies) if the court wishes to see it. This is because you don't have permission to file evidence unless the court has ordered it.
