Hi there,
First time poster and in need of advice. I've been to court numerous times over the years as contact had been stopped by my ex-partner, which was followed by allegations of numerous kinds which were always unfounded i.e. investigated by authorities with NFA. I've had relative peace with my contact with my daughter for 2 years, I'm happily in a relationship with my partner who I also have two young sons with. Fast forward to November 24 and I received letter from daughters school after a conversation about late attendances, which totalled 27 this term and 60 last term, which would start to impact her schooling if not resolved. Messaged mum who deflected and blamed the lateness (which had been ongoing for some 18 months on me) on anxiety I was causing my daughter. She stopped contact, then allowed it for my son's birthday then stopped it again. My solicitor raised a contempt of court action and subsequent my partner was contacted by police asking if she felt safe being around me and my boys. She is of course. Social Work had an IRD and decided NFA, words they used to my lawyer were she had raised copious allegations. Isn't the first time, happened on two occasions over the years. Anyways, I had found out she had raised allegations of a sexual nature, assumingly against me. Went to court today and a report was produced by her dictating GP interactions. Her dad, phoned the GP and alleged my dad (72 year old) had been abusing his granddaughter/ my daughter. My dad has barely any contact with my daughter and if he does I'm there and my mum or partner etc. couldn't meet a nicer guy honestly. Sheriff proceeded to say it was equally concerning that false allegations as the fact that they might be happening. She asked parties to go away decide way forward. Came back from the recess. Some more changes about how these allegations came about were mentioned, to put into perspective. These allegations only happened since I challenged about the lates. Sheriff wants a bar report, fine, but reduced my contact down to minimal, 4 hours here and there down from every second full weekend residential contact and every Wednesday. My partner is worried as we have two young boys, I was upset in court and told solicitor I didn't want the contact when this was hanging over, due to the threat of further allegations etc against my family
she wasnt happy and said you need to or when we come back in Feb, you will need to start all again. I'm baffled with how SW/Police say NFA but a sheriff has stripped my contact right back, when I personally although biased know the anxiety/manipulation is happening at her end with her dad. At a loss what to do. Rob
