[Solved] Section 7

Do you think we should address some of her blatant lies where we have evidence and it impacts on their son

hi,

do you plan on hiring a barrister for the next hearing? he/she can challenge the report and any lies/allegations. ideally the child should be able to spend overnights with dad after age 2. my report states that from 2 and a half at latest, one of my kids should have 1 overnight stay with me, every 2 weeks. as they will review case in 6 months, they will probably let dad spend few more hours or a day with child.

We dont have the funds and have only just received the report. The case is this wed , A conference call.

If you disagree with the recomendations can you ask for another hearing where you can provide evidence to a biased report. One example for instance.1 the report claims my son did not make any referrals or voice concerns regarding the safety of his son. He constantly did via telephone calls and emails. The report claims that his ex was made to drink alcohol by him but we have transcribed recordings of her obviously not with him ringing llam in the morning steaming drunk you can hear her son in the background. The court order asked for a safeguarding check on the mother. Sw got these and showed my son, about 10 police incidents some saying she was intoxicated and aggressive but my son sober. Non of these were included in the report. The list goes on and on.

Hi,

i have read other cases, where somone disagreed with report and asked for another hearing, to have cafcass officer present and to be cross-examined. can ask for that. they may say this will all be reviewed at the hearing 6 months later. ask for cafcass officer to be present at the review hearing.

As its going to be a telephone hearing i feel like just emailing the evidence off what we have and chance that it gets read, got nothing to lose have we.

hi,

yes its your call. if you think tackling those allegations and biased reporting will/can make a difference to how much time your son will spend with child.

I would focus on getting contact built up. I think cause child is so young you not been offered much. 1 and a half hours is poor. I would be asking for 4 hours and order to be phased working towards overnight contact. I wouldnt worry about s7 report just say i am here to get contact with our child but you do feel theres things in report that arent factual and you found social worker is biased but understand she doesnt know you and is just doing her job.

I would avoid bad mouthing ex and bringing up the many issues she has as you dont want a find a fact hearing .the law still favours mums as they are nearly always the resident parent
