  • advice needed family law

    Hi everyone,

    After a three year battle and outside of the court process I now have three out my four children living with me and this has been agreed with the applicant mother. However I have made five applications for an interim residence order with support from social services who are just as concerned for my daughter as I am, but despite all the evidence being to hand and the fact she is on bail for assault she still have our daughter living wither her away from her siblings, time after time my barristers seem to miss the very facts sitting in front of them and show no emotion to the childrens wishes and feelings and now a gaurdian has been appointed to the older children however as the mothers application no longer includes the three older children I cannot see why this is still to go ahead, I am now considering self respresentation in order to have the facts heard and get accross the fact I have attended all the child protection meetings and know the chidlren better then anyone in that room. can anyone give me advice on if the judge will hold this against me in court?

    Thank you very very much :-)

      Hi Mikey

      First of all, well done to you for persevering with the system and successfully gaining residency of your 3 children.
      I suspect it will only be a matter of time before you gain residency of your other daughter also. Her relationship with her siblings and the stability you clearly offer, will prove very significant indeed.

      Have you got this far by using solicitors and barristers at all? (to gain residency of the 3 kids)
      How did you negotiate and have you had the residency confirmed through the courts at all?

      If you have largely fought this case yourself, then you will be able to self represent. The Family Courts are meant to encourage and support LIPs. They are meant to recognise that access to legal advice is expensive and that LIPs should be treated fairly.

      You must have picked up an awful lot over the last three years. You are clearly a good dad, you know the lingo to speak, to show respect and concern for the mothers welfare to best support your kids etc etc. So long as you are clear and calm and do not show too much emotion in court, you would be fine. You already have the three kids, it cant be that much of a legal leap to understand that the 4th child might benefit from joining her siblings. Or is there anything unusual or different about her circumstances?

      I worked on a paternal residency case a few years ago and we also did most of our own research and work and we won too.

      If you need specialist advice and backing, join Families Need Fathers. They hold local meetings, advice surgeries, a great website and access to discounted legal advice.

      Any more questions, please just ask.

      Wishing you lots of luck.
      "Although scalar fields are Lorentz scalars, they may transform nontrivially under other symmetries, such as flavour or isospin. For example, the pion is invariant under the restricted Lorentz group, but is an isospin triplet (meaning it transforms like a three component vector under the SU(2) isospin symmetry). Furthermore, it picks up a negative phase under parity inversion, so it transforms nontrivially under the full Lorentz group; such particles are called pseudoscalar rather than scalar. Most mesons are pseudoscalar particles." (finally explained to a captivated Celestine by Professor Brian Cox on Wednesday 27th June 2012 )
