Advice? Fact finding before section 7

Can anyone offer any input or advice. I feel defeated, and feel as though I should never have applied for court to see my boys.

CAFCASS safeguarding letter has been received.

It states alcohol abuse, physical, emotional, sexual abuse. That I have assaulted her in front of the kids and did it often, forced sex on her etc, which is not true at all.

It says the oldest child does not want to see me as he is frightened.

And I have been blamed for all her mental health issues, including self harm. It says she has EUPD which could be ADHD. But her mental health issues were present before I even met her and continued throughout the relationship.

It states whilst the social assessment was positive, they do not agree that it was conflict between parents and that it is domestic abuse. Even though in the same report it states her pushing me. Both parents agreed, and social agreed it was not domestic.

It details lots of negative things about my family, mainly my brother who is in prison. The same person she was having an affair with and doing prison visits with the child, but obviously no mention of this.

They are recommending a fact finding before a section 7 with no interim access. With a 3 month hair strand test.

It states both parents have given polar opposite accounts and I have disagreed with all version of events which the ex has provided in much detail.

I stayed all positive and didn't say anything bad throughout my phonecall interview.

The thought of a fact finding is awful.

How can someone who knows you're a good father and often praised you as such, make such awful allegations to prevent you from seeing your kids.

You are in the right place, and firstly let me offer you some reassurance and advice.

Nearly every single case in the family court is attached with domestic abuse allegations, the majority are coached by their solicitors to claim free legal aid.

One thing to remember is that they are just allegations and the burden of proof is on your ex.

Evidence is key 🔑 gather as much evidence as possible which highlights the contradictions and at the hearing aim to get the FF dismissed first of all.
