Alright lads.. So im going back to court second time for better amount of contact hours.
Long story short tho access has been stopped again. This time apparently my daughter is seeing a behavioural pyschologist, shes 4. Her mom tries to say its my fault. but grandad has let slip that my daughter even doesnt want to see her mother either..
Im currently chasing down the leads via school, to which I found out my daughter doesn't attend school, now I don't know what to do to chase her down? im just wondering is this something i have to tread lightly on? or can i use this full throttle for court evidence that somethings going wrong at home??
thnks

hi,
during my first court experience, cafcass lady did S7 report. in it she wrote that with mum taking kids to new school (which is 10 min walk), attendance/punctuality is dreadful! :p they do tend to take education matters quite seriously. you could mention part about your child not going to school. but your ex will likely have a good/convincing excuse. if you have not done so, you can contact local social services and make them aware of that, and let them investigate. cafcass will most likely do their own digging if you make them aware of all this.
I would pay absolutely no attention to what your ex is claiming as its absolutely ridiculous. I wouldn't raise any concerns about your ex .
You should solely go to family court to increase contact and be completely child focused saying your child needs both parents etc and she should be able to have regular contact and be able to have a loving relationship with both parents. What contact do you have in place at moment? do you get overnight stays etc ?
Alright guys so.
More information has been found out. My daughter has moved school but because of data protection I can't find out where to.
I'm going back to court for better contact as the previous court order of 8 hours every other weekend has stopped.
I Dont know how to chase down the behaviour psychologist stuff? This is my main concern right now.
I'm seeing my solicitor on Thursday and I don't know what can happen apart from me giving her the situation and going with it from there. I just want to provide as much info as possible so my solicitor isn't going everywhere and anywhere costing me more money..
So any tips on how to get that information would be great (how to chase down her school and this pyschologist course)
hi,
what i would suggest is get ball rolling for court, about your child contact issues. am sure during the hearings, your ex will start giving out all this info, and court/cafcass would like to know ins and outs and investigate themselves. when cafcass interviewed me during court process, they asked me do i know where my daughters school is? i said no i don't. they did not seem happy about that, so would want you to know about it.
