Hi everyone. At our last court hearing the judge ordered my wife and I both submit witness statements and our GP medical records, and both to file a Scott schedule each, by 4pm Friday 25 October. I submitted mine to the court and to her solicitor on time. A week on I've still not had hers. Any ideas what I do now? The court order clearly says all to be submitted by 4pm 25 October. Is it up to me to call her solicitors and ask where her scott schedule is? As we are in court in 2 weeks for a pre trial hearing. Then a 3 day fact finding hearing in January. I've got a non molestation order against me, so I can't contact her. All this aside. I just want to see my children again. It's been 5 months since I've seen my children, because of her allegations against me. My children have said to early years help and social services before that, they want to see daddy. My 11 year old tells her teacher that mummy won't let us see daddy. Any idea what I should do please? Thanks for your help guys..
Hi Devo
I don't think it should be up to you to sort it out I think it will just be her solicitor being slow that's all you could maybe ring her solicitor to put your mind at rest if you are worried but please don't contact her you will get yourself into trouble
It's sad that you can't see you children I hope after the fact finding they will see sense and let you see them
hi devo,
try not to worry about the other party. just do your own work and submit papers on time. her solicitor has a brain, so leave it to them.
in your papers/position statement, make sure to mention early years people and school, and how your kids told them that they want to see you.
I was supposed to have a fact find and we were orders to do Scott schedules witness stammers evidence etc . Ex did not comply with a single word of the order . In the direction hearing nothing was said or done about her not submitting a single thing , so instead of fact find that hearing was cancelled and it’s been turned into a final hearing a month later
Appreciate that this after the fact, but will hopefully be usefel for some other dads
Your responsibility is to file your document with the Court on time. Exchange with the other side should be by mutual exchange - i.e. at the same time.
Just let the other side know you have submitted on time and for them to let you know when they are ready to exchange.
Hope this helps - CD.
