DISTRICT JUDGE ORDERED CAFCASS

Hi all and thanks in advance ,recived order to go to court today re contact, from what i can understand from paper work it says that district judge has ordered that me and my stbx attend a CAFCASS hearing, recived the order to day, so was unable to get my sol, i know though one has gone to her to ,my Q is will she be able to have any input, will she be able to attened with me , i have had a realy stressfull time not in a good place at the moment , and to me honest i am realy scared stiff, could any one advise:(

if the hearing is at court with the CAFCASS officer present then yes your solicitor will be able to be present and support you on the day.

they may not be able to come in and sit with you if you have to speak with the cafcass officer alone but not entirely sure on that as we have had social services envolvement not CAFCASS.

hope this helps and try not to worry normally not much happens at the first Directions hearing. the judge probably wants you both to meet with cafcass before you go into the court to see if you can come to an agreement without having to see the judge.
