We have had one in place for our granddaughter for almost 4 years now and the estranged father has suddenly popped up through the courts for a Child Arrangement Order.
I’m going to get some legal advice but does anybody have any similar experience; I’d like to know if what he is requesting cannot be granted given we have the SGO in place
The right decision at last GrandadGarage. Have followed your story and can only say how happy I am to hear that you now have peace of mind. You and so many like you have done a marvellous thing and provided your grandchikd with the security all children need. Well done. Celebrate x
So….. we’re still waiting for confirmation this has been dismissed; we got a letter today saying the case had transferred to a court more local to us; he didn’t amend the application as far as we are aware and he had up until the 26th Feb to do so.
The court letter that arrived today was dated 3rd March it’s so slow
Our solicitor said as he didn’t amend his application to cover the other two parties with PR that when it’s reviewed it should get thrown out.
Thanks to you and so many other lovely grandparents, aunties, uncles and friends, children who could have faced a future away from loved ones are safe, loved and treasured.
She’s beautiful, funny and a real treasure in our lives; of course it’s tiring being over 50 and we have lost any independence/freedom we had meaning our marriage and plans for the future have changed dramatically however there is immense pleasure in bringing her up; these are the cards we have been dealt and the positives far far outweigh anything else.
Grandadgarage, I think your granddaughter is fortunate to have you both, she must be such a joy to have. Your sil sounds a real charmer, hope he doesn’t get anywhere near her. How dare he even think he has any rights.
It’s my understanding that an Order from the family court is exactly that, an Order not a request or suggestion. I do hope it’s possible to draw a line under this so you can relax as a family. Hope your solicitor can help
So….. over two weeks ago the father was directed to amend the court application as he missed off two other people with PR for my GD, I phoned the court today and apparently hale hasn’t filed anything at all.
It looks like this won’t proceed any further
I’ve asked my solicitor if he can apply again in the future or if i can take out any order against him as I can’t be having this every time he feels like he wants to take us to court..
His other child they’ve got a full court date but he hasn’t responded to allegations of DV which he was directed to do by the court
