All,
I have a directions hearing at the CFC in the couple of weeks, it is my first hearing in court and it will be a hybrid hearing as I requested this as my solicitor advocate is based in a difference city as am I which they agreed to.
I filed a C100 and C1A, have had the CC initial call and have not seen my daughter for 9 months.
- Ex previously agreed to informal contact after separating, I only got to see my daughter once before communication broke down. Ex maintains her position that she had not stopped me from seeing my daughter but of course this is all lip service as when contact is proposed it is ignored, both through my solicitor and via direct message.
- CFC requested we both submit a summary table of allegations with accompanying statement. This has been completed by both parties. Once I responded to the allegations, I was blocked so have not had any updates on my daughter (two weeks ago) I intend on requesting that updates are reinstated at this hearing which I imagine the court will agree to.
- CC advised the court to pursue a FFH and advised against contact in the meantime.
My question today is how likely is it in your opinions that I get interim contact agreed with the court at this first hearing, contact centre or whatever is proposed to build that relationship with my daughter. She is just over one years old now and I am conscious I have not had a chance to bond with her. I am completely willing to staircase my contact approach and understand it will need to be done gradually over a period of time but I am desperate to reinstate interim contact in the meanwhile.
Thanks in advance
