Hi all,
Current contact-Every Tuesday pick up from RPs to take to school, pick up from school, return to RP''s at 7pm (or thereabouts).
I have requested EO Friday from school to Monday drop off, midweek overnights every Tuesday and also Wednesday.
Every other weekend, Friday 4pm from RP''s to Monday school drop off.
Brief history;
RP refused my suggestions of
mediation and refused to directly discuss and progress contact so I submitted a C100 end of last year, first hearing in Feb ''11 where Sunday night contact was coerced out of RP by DJ. Order to attend PIP then the PIP+ course and mediation before second hearing in May.
RP left it till late to attend PIP+, meaning no time for mediation before the second hearing, mediation was booked for 11th June, RP''s Solicitors asked for the case to be adjourned, which we did not find out until we turned up for court.
Attended mediation and discussed the Tuesday overnights, RP refused to make a decision there and then, despite knowing since September 2011 what was being requested, all she would say is that she considered it too unsettling and a lot of going back and forth for our D (Age 6). She agreed to let me know her decision via email by the end of June. Surprising (not) she said no and so mediation is no longer an option (mediator stated that if we could not agree to at least try it she could no longer help us).
I knew full well she would refuse, we asked the DJ in the May hearing if we could list the next one as a Contested hearing, as I knew she would not agree, IMO she is just stalling and going through the motions with mediation.
We have another ''review'' listing for September, but quite what use this will be now I''m not sure.
Is it possible to either get the hearing brought forward or changed to a contested one, I''m concerned that RP is just wasting time, as it stands if we go in September and nothing is achieved then it''ll be at least another 3 months after that.
Thanks
S
