Witness Statement Template

You don't need a witness statement template for a PSO :-) Only if the court orders you to submit a witness statement.
 
Definitely a witness statement and not a position statement?
 
Hi all, apologies for hijacking’s this thread as I must complete a C2 form for an urgent PSO for an ex parte hearing and I have been told I need to submit a witness statement along side it. I would be extremely grateful if someone has such a template and an example as to how to complete it. I think the witness statement may have to include details of the interim draft order which my ex is about to breach.
 
I’ll post one later but it’s just the headers and first paragraph. The rest you do in double line spacing with numbered paragraphs and sub headings. - if it’s long enough to need sub headings
 
Thank you for the template Ash. I have made an attempt to complete both the Witness Statement and the C2, however section 6 of the C2 reads just as if it is a copy and paste of the witness statement and I fear this is not correct. I also struggle with the correct wording and worry the forms may just be kicked out by the judge.

Is there anyone how can give me some advice as to what should be doing? Any assistance is very much welcome and appreciated.
 
Sorry I can’t right now - I’m sure it’ll be fine.

As the guidance states keep it brief and factual, be clear in what you are stating and asking for. Read it back through and remove unnecessary words. Think in your mind what you are asking for and don't dress it up in writing. The courts aren't expecting everybody to be hyper articulate but keep it simple language and check your spelling.

If the C2 mirrors your witness statement you have probably gone into too much detail on the C2. The C2 is the place to keep it simple and factual.

I have applied twice for a C2 and the hearing was the time to expand on detail the paperwork is about simple fact.
 
@bujanin , so the C2 is just a brief summary, whereas the witness statement goes into greater detail?
I will look to reduce the C2 down to the Bare facts.
Thank you for the advice.
 
I will be going to the courts tomorrow to apply for an urgent PSO ex parte. Does anyone know what the process entails and how quickly I can get it approved?
I then need to serve the papers and am running out of time before my ex relocates with my daughter.
 
Can you elaborate on how you know when your ex is planning to relocate?

Where are you in the process of care arrangements?
 
A third party has mentioned she is moving and also there was farewell drinks yesterday. There is zero communication from my ex to me and she openly admits this in court. I will always struggle to get first hand information from her. Because of this I have only seen my daughter 4 times in the last year. Two weeks ago I had favourable interim access granted by the judge but it appears my ex is fleeing to get away with not sharing our daughter with me. That’s the way she is,
So if she moves I will be left high and dry. I feel so let down if this happens.

So at the moment she is the main carer and how much time have you been given? Is it unsupported time?

You can email the courts although I took my paperwork in with a cheque. The paperwork was served to the mother by email by the court. Get it submitted and then you've done what you can. They seemed most interested in getting the money banked before moving forward though so cover that base.

The other thing is that not all family law courts handle admin it might go through a central admin office at the counties City family law court to be processed.
 
I have only had minimal supervised time, I know this will go game, but that is down to the mother denying me assess and her false accusations.
I will take the paperwork directly to the court.
I also think the pso needs to be served as to emailed to the mother, as there is no guarantee she will read the email.
 
I managed to get the pso and it is left with a process server to serve. Whether my ex pays any attention to it remains to be seen.
@Maloney , big thanks I needed your input, couldn't have done it without you.
I need to take time recovering mentally but now doubt will be back tomorrow with a question or two.
