oh I know, lets just mess him around, lets prolong the agony
I was informed before Christmas CAFCASS would get in contact with me so we can finally sort out contact arrangements. Yet even when we were in court last week, they still have not done so. Yesterday I get a phone call from my solicitor to say that CAFCASS were never notified of our case, and therefore will need more time to sort things out. We were meant to be in court next week to sort out contact !!! So because of this stupid balls up, the hearing has to be put back another month. Can things get any worse?
If its not enough that I am not allowed to see my daughter, they seem to think its a joke, “oh I know, lets just mess him around, lets prolong the agony” When I mentioned to my solicitor because of this, I want some form of contact with my daughter in the mean time, she flatly said no. When I questioned her on this, she seemed to be on the side of my wife. Was not saying anything positive towards me. In the end, I would not take no for an answer. I could not see any reason why I was not allowed to see my daughter, even if it was supervised.
A few hours later, she got back to me with the same old story, my wife will not allow it. Now I am sorry for the outburst but…
WTF has it got to do with my wife????????????
She is my daughter for Gods sake, I have a right to see her.
My daughter has a right to see her father.
My daughter has a right to see her brother, her grandparents, her cousins etc..
Why is nobody seeing that my wife is so possessive with Emma; she will not allow anyone to see her.
I am really getting sick of this whole procedure and its only been a few months. From what I have read it can take up to a year before its all sorted – so not looking forward to the rest of it. CAFCASS, from what I have read always prolong the outcome too; they are apparently under stress with so many cases and CAFCASS cannot cope. So all the cases are backlogged and where it once took a couple of months before CAFCASS will get to your case can now take up to 6 months.
Yet still, on the CAFCASS website they proudly show “Putting children and young people first in the family courts”
Yeah Right CAFCASS! really looks this way doesn’t it.
