The hearing next week will be our third directions hearing and the judge is already not very happy with FOB's behaviour (FOB was over an hour late for our last hearing!!) so I really really hope that the judge just orders what has been recommended on the Cafcass report without it going to a final hearing. The problem is that my solicitor tells me that it has to go to a final hearing if either party is in disagreement with the cafcass report. I am in complete agreement with it and just want the judge to stamp it at the next hearing and be done with it all.

FOB didn't attend his Cafcass interview and didn't attend the observed contact. He ignored the Cafcass officer completely by avoiding her emails and phonecalls and yet has put in a complaint about her conduct!!!


Arrrgh so stressful!!
