Chronology for bundle

Hi all,

I’m currently working on the bundle for my next directions hearing. Both ex and I are LiPs.

Just wondering what level of detail I need to put in the chronology? Like most of you, I’ve been arrested for false allegations of domestic abuse (NFA’d) and I’m currently subject to a NMO following my NFA (accepted on the basis of no findings/admissions which annoyingly expires just after the next hearing).

I was thinking of including basics like date of birth for ex, child and I, when we met, when we married, separated, date of first hearing, supervised time then supported time with my child etc. but do I need to include things like date of arrest, date of NFA, dates for NMO stuff? In my view, it creates a negative picture of me despite not having done anything! If I could include when she applied for to transfer child benefit away from me (was primary carer before this kicked off), CMS, financial remedy proceedings etc it would help give context that none of this is about being a risk to our child, just more about ex fleecing me as much as she can whilst having full control of our child - usual story!

I get vibes based on her witness statements she has a sleazy legal aid type solicitor on an ad hoc basis helping her in the background ready and waiting to do the bundle (so they can do the usual sneaky tricks and leave key evidence of mine out), but I don’t know for sure so I feel like I need to get it prepared anyway and can always do a supplementary bundle.

Thanks all
 
Hi @JC83 the chronology is detailed and not if that makes sense so yes as you've suggested timeline everything that's been relevant to your relationship, first met, married if applicable, DoB of children,offences if applicable, when seperated,left FMH etc but each one doesn't require a lengthy statement just like a bullet points,straight to the point
 
I've had a look back through my chronology and yes it important dates in your time line so for example CAFCASS safeguarding letter,C100 or form e application,hearing attendances,parties cohabiting, parties married,offences,divorce proceedings,decree nisi,notice of first appointments,applicants forms signed,basically significant dates specifying applicant or respondent, some on here may have more detailed chronological and maybe able to expand on some of the above mentioned,hope this helps. On mine it does not state about the respondent not engaging or attending however I think personally that is significant
 
Maybe for that entry put applicant attended mediation, respondant refused to attend, yet as I said mine didnt attend hearings x 2 but that hasn't been listed on my chronology
 
thanks @capa I'll include those details. Regarding mediation, following my NFA i approached a mediator to see if ex was willing to mediate for both child arrangements and finances (i strongly suspected ex wouldn't, but was just trying to delay finances as long as possible as we still haven't sorted child arrangements). Ex made it clear to the mediator she would only engage with mediation if form e's were exchanged, no mention of child arrangements. I wasn't going to be bullied and provide all my financial info so just reiterated I'd be happy to mediate for BOTH. Got nothing back from the mediator or ex after that until i'm hit with CMS, and financial remedy proceedings.
 
Have you had ypur first financial hearing? There's a potential scope there for mediation to happen as ordered by the judge, I'm very similar, the stbx hasn't complied or part taken in any of the hearings and without her form e I insisted that my statement which contains some financial figures was redacted, when sent to her but a full version sent to the judge,however, as the final approaches I'm now in the court arena this redaction will not be allowed even though no form e's have been exchanged and still doubt stbx has even done one yet.

not yet. its due late Jan with exchange of form e's ordered for next month. I'd say i was about 75% of the way through the form e now. I dont want to breach any order and I would be open to mediation but I feel that Ex's demands are going to be unreasonable and we will end up nowhere!

Hope your case gets sorted buddy, sounds a nightmare.

But that's where mediation will work for you, the ex will brick wall everything just to show contempt for you, yet this should be recorded by mediation as the ex shows lack of negotiation, remaining steadfast and unwilling to move ,as the other party we have to be alive to the fact that we will have to concede, however not completely give in to their demands
 
Ok buddy thank you, I’ll see if I can push for that then. Like most chaps on here, she’s got me over a barrel over child arrangements are the moment, completely dictating time with my child, preventing overnights for financial gain, yet I was my child’s primary carer so she could further her career (and I loved working part time and being a stay at home dad). Well, I was their main carer before all the allegations started flying after we disagreed over how finances should be split. Then got me arrested blah blah. She’s earning substantially more than me with a decent pension so hopefully the judge will see through her. She’s even put I was arrested for DA offences on her financial application and asks for special measures during hearings, yet forgets to mention I was already NFA’d before she submitted the application! She has a DA charity helping her
