Hi All,
Once again I find myself being fobbed off by this stupidly long dragged out court process.
Current situation is that from the first hearing the judge has ordered an s7 to be completed by the local childrens authority, and as an interim order has said no direct or indirect contact at all until the local authority invites the court after deeming it appropriate to start contact - (due to pending stalking/harrassment charges still under investigation)
The social worker actually came out to my house and was really nice and could see things from my point of view. She said that she doesnt see any safegaurding risks but she cannot write a full and comprehensive s7 report without actually having my son with me.
The next court hearing that was supposed to be on the 17th april has actually been vacated until june due to the ex partner taking my son away on holiday with her new partner which I find extremely irritating given that I have not had so much of a picture of him in 7 months now.
Social worker has changed the filing date of the s7 which has been put back to 14th may despite the next hearing being a further 28 days away.
They have also sent off something to the court requesting that we start some contact urgently in order to progress things, as of yet nothing has happened.
Why has the judge asked for a s7 which is entirely based on me seeing my child yet ordered no direct or indirect contact in the interim? How are things constantly allowed to be pushed back and back again I feel like I am fighting against a herd of braindead zombies and have been told ill be able to see my 1 year old son in 'a couple of weeks now' since november.
Is there a way I can complain about the court process/judge ? Or is it not worth bothering with? I feel like I am having the piss taken out of me by the legal process over a bad breakup with his mother. I have never done anything wrong to my child so find it extremely difficult to believe the situation I am in of not seeing him at all is allowed to happen.
