[Solved] Previous convictions

Hi There,
.
I would say that although they may get brought up in court, I can't see that they would hold much wieght as they were so long ago, I wouldn't worry about it too much, though that said be ready to answer questions about it if they do arrise.
.
Talk about remourse for the way you acted and that you have learnt from that and moved onn.

As GTTS has said, if they arise - be honest and offer explanations when asked. They are likely to be considered historic in these proceedings and not have much relevance upon any decisions the court makes.

All proceedings are subject to safeguarding checks and then it's up to the court to decide if any records are relevant.

Good luck

Cheers mate, I'm.just worried as I have my cafcass telephone interview on the 15th and they have told me they will be interviewing the ex first. She has already claimed Dv against me no I'm thinking she will use those convictions to back her claims up...

I have stayed in contact via WhatsApp with my daughter since we split in october and she has recently sent me pics of her crying and messages that she loves me, misses me and wants to see me now and wants to play how we use too...then she sent me a voice message crying, it broke my heart hearing that..what makes it worse is the ex has seen them and now has taken her phone off her...I'm expecting her to tell cafcass that I'm emotionally abusing our daughter..

Hi,
.
Make sure you keep those messages so you can show them if needed, if she is crying and saying she wants to see you and play how you used to then that should show that you aren't causing her distress.
.
Also just a thought, maybe bring up your past convictions when you talk with Cafcass as we have said they were so long ago they would be treated as historic, but if you are worried she will bring them up, be up front about them and say that you have learnt from it and don't intend to repeat. Beat her too talking about them

I'm not going to hide anything from cafcass I need them to believe I'm honest and trustworthy.. But I will give the messages a short mention.

The witch reported me to.the police today because we crossed paths at the train station and said hello to my daughter but carried on walking which was hard..

The officer said take this as friendly advice, in future you need to turn around an walk the other way, what aload of shite!!

She has only done this as it will show as a police log, she is pure evil..

Hi There,
.
That really is over the top, What message does that give your daughter if she has spotted you before you turn and walk away.
.
I would imagine if your ex wanted to cause trouble (and it seems she does) she could well claim that you knew she would be where ever you bmped into her and planned it all.
.
It's all game playing and it's your daughter that is stuck in the middle while your ex plays.

That's my thoughts exactly, I would never turn my back and walk the other way , that would be like saying to my daughter I don't care about you any more! So no I wouldn't do it.

She can claim what she she likes, we live less then two miles apart so ultimately we will bump into each other on the odd occasion..

She is even putting thoughts into my daughters head, by saying you won't be safe with daddy, how sick is that, when I've been there every day for 8 years and never any issues but all of a sudden we split and she is not safe with me. I'm sure she needs mental help!!

Hi,
.
This is so common place unfortunately, Before I left my ex, when I had a day off and she was at work I did what ever with my child, but after I left her I had to give her prior notice of what we would do and where we would go or she wouldn't allow me access.
.
It's a joke really, stick with it.

I need some advice on convictions also. I've got a section 7 coming up, I have a gbh assault on that I was charged for but later found not guilty in court. Cafcass still wanted all the statements of this incident , and when I read it, it's not pretty, but like I said , I was found not guilty. It was 18 months ago. Do you think this will have an affect on the report. They've also asked for alcohol hair strand test and liver function tests as I had been drinking the night in question, and my ex says I'm a violent drunk. Both came back negative for alcohol 3 months

Hi Helpless

any issues will be considered in the S7 and CAFCASS will make their recommendations to the court based on an overall picture and then it will be up to the judge to decide next steps. In certain cases, supervised contact might be deemed appropriate initially. Without knowing any details of your case, it's difficult to comment. There are no hard or fast rules in family court, the decision is almost always at the discretion of the judge presiding over the hearing. Good news that your test came back negative though. Let us know if we can help further.

Good luck
