I had a Drha hearing .
My ex turned up with her family and they were refused access to sit in the hearing although one member was eventually allowed in as McKenzie (after agreement ) .
I had several allegations thrown at me which many I disputed and some I admitted to as there was proof ( such as I was a gambling addict a few years back and I took drugs one time in the past ) these were brought up but the judge was incredibly lenient and stated they're all historic events and do not. Impact the child plus I can receive help if necessary (I've been accused of being alcoholic too and DA ) .
My ex asked for the hearing to be adjourned and she was told no .
They even said they don't think the DA allegation which is a pure lie will be wholly relevant as it's a one off incident in the past a few years ago (it never happened but she twisted something to try and make it look like it did )
They've decided on a S7 . I have a hearing a good few months away with no contact sadly .
I can send presents to my daughter but nothing more .
The thing is my ex was told in the first hearing and second she had to update me every week (no pictures ) about how my daughter is doing and she did once a week for a few weeks but since the hearing my ex has not sent me an update and she's blocked me ( I've not tried to contact her but I'm blocked anyway .
I'm not sure how this will go but is it a step in the right direction and should I leave it a week or two and then get In touch with cafcass if ex does not update me about our daughter ?
