My friend has a final hearing in the morning, the ex(mother of the children) is horrific to put it nicely, he wants to go with cafcass’ recommendations with an added night to help the children. The ex doesn’t even want him to see the children at Christmas ever! Does anyone have any last minute advice?

Hi,
What would you like advice for?
Without any further context I would suggest going for what’s best for the children and your friend and if he believes that what Cafcass recommends is best for the children then I’d recommend pushing for that.
General advice would be to keep all dialogue child focused and do not back down from what you want if you believe it to be in the child’s best interest.
If your friend’s ex has a history of being unreasonable and he has evidence of that then it should work in his favour providing he makes sure to frame all of his arguments around it being in the child’s best interest.
I’d recommend your friend to read all of our articles here on the website in order to feel prepared for the hearing.
Knowledge is power and preparation is key.
All the best.
