A year ago in 2023, I made the choice to leave my wife, we have 2 children and since then she has done nothing but make my life a living hell when I comes to the children! Ive not seen either of them in over a year, she wouldnt even let them visit their terminally ill grandma (who sadly now has passed away). She has turned them against me, she's involved them in adult conversation that children really don't need to know about, the children have witnessed her be abusive towards me, she ran me over whilst my daughter was in the car, she has lied to social services (who may I say never believe the father) making heinous accusations. She has basically turned them against me! I'm in desperate need!

The system is not on your side but there are ways to get justice for your children which will, in turn, be justice for you. 1: Why did you leave?
2: Did either of you have an affair?
3: Was either of you abusive in the relatioonship - physical, psychological?
4: Has either of you ever threatened to harm yourself? 5: Has either of you deliberatly harmed either of your children?
6: How old are your children and how long were you married?
7: Are you seeking a divorce?
8: Have you tried mediation - this is a requirement of both divorce and family courts.
9: Where are you living?
10: Do you have a criminal record? (Sadly, Rehab of Offenders act is not applicable in family court and the court will get this information)
11: Have you ever used illegal drugs or had any substance abuse issues (including alcohol)?
12: Are you working?
13: Can you afford a solicitor? (It can cost from £4,000 to £30,000+ to fight in family court)
14: Is there evidence, apart from your daughter, that she attempted to run you over? If there were witnesses then you need statements and you MUST report it to the Police. If it is your word against hers, then the Police will do nothing. I know you may wonder what all these questions have to do with anything, but it all makes a difference to how things may go, especially if CAFCASS get involved.
