Hi Everyone,
Well where do I start, I was at court yesterday for my DRA after the section 7 report, cafcass had only recommended 6 indirect contacts a year and wanting to end the case yesterday even though there are no safeguardingissues with me. My barrister was excellent and said the section 7 report hasn't been done correct as some stuff what was in the court order cafcass didn't do and when my barrister asked why he said he didn't know because he didn't ask so now he has to do more in depth checks on my ex and backed down with alot of stuff what was in the report, now this is where it gets interesting. I received an email from cafcass to say he spoke with my ex and she has now had a think and is willing for me to have contact with one of my sons but not the other and it has to be done in a contact centre but I have to fund it.
My ex and cafcass no I can't afford to pay for the contact centre as I have just getting a house and I'm paying off debt from our relationship I really want to start re establishing my relationship with my boys so was wondering if anyone knows if there is funding for contact centres. This is a joke as originally in the report neither of my sons wanted to see me but when asked why they couldn't answer and wanted to move on and now my ex is now saying my youngest some will want family time with me after cafcass had phoned her to give an update to what happened at court because she didn't turn up again that's both hearings she hasn't turned up to but her excuse was she had to take my youngest son to an emergency dentist.
