I’ve recently finished a court battle to gain access to my son. After spending months talking to EDAN lincs and other numerous groups, no one believed that a man could be a victim of domestic abuse. This abuse affected my mental health (wasn’t even that bad) and what caused my son to be taken away. Due to receiving no support or legal aid, i had to go into the court room, question cafcass to go against their recommdations all by myself, thank you CHATGPT.
After lots of money and many visits to a contact centre with positive feedback everytime the judge decided that this is only damaging our bond and after completing two courses we can go back to normal. When i questioned him on what “back to normal meant” he basically just repeated those 3 words to reiterate what he was getting across. We also discussed the fact that I MAY have relocated to Lincoln, due to the abuse i want a fresh start away from here, but not too far away from my son. This was discussed In court also and decided i could see him Mondays for 3 hours before i get the train back to Lincoln. This move has not yet happened.
The point of this post is that the court order does NOT mention anything about Lincoln, neither does it state the words the judge said about “back to normal”, so now it only looks as if i only get him 3 hours on a Monday. This is NOT what was said in court, and due to the omitting of information it is out of context. It’s also awful and is damaging to a bond of me and my son, it’s also not an appropriate response to a father saying something inappropriate in front of his son, due to the emotional damaged caused by his mother, & my ex partner (together)
I am currently filling out an EX105 and EX107 for a transcript of the hearing and potential funding with the EX105. Does anyone else have any advice or tips?
