Hi,
Very shortened version of events:
After separation, wife accused by husband of child abuse, as well as all forms of domestic abuse. All are either entirely false allegations or huge exaggerations of rows at the end of a marriage.
Husband has a year long log of ‘incidents’ that he took to a nursery who did a MASH referral. MASH have closed now saying no further action. Police also sent to do a welfare check on children and found no concerns.
Husband applied for emergency C100 (despite being offered regular contact out of court) and judge agreed 50/50 in the interim.
Since, both husband and wife have had Cafcass phone call for safeguarding letter - again, husband making a lot of allegations about wife. Wife refutes these and mentions things about husband (whilst also talking about what is best for children).
Waiting to see outcome of safeguarding letter before a Zoom hearing on next steps where position statements have to be submitted etc.
My question is: all allegations were listed on the original C100 form that judge had seen and still granted 50/50 interim contact at the emergency hearing. Is it likely that because of unproven allegations, Cafcass would recommend supervised contact for wife at this hearing despite 50/50 going well while waiting for Fact Finding or S7? No concerns for children from social services, police, GP or schools (apart from the mash referral entirely based on husband allegations).
It seems the judge did not see the allegations on the C100 as being a welfare risk (they are not as they are spurious).
Thanks for thoughts.
