Do I need a Barrister or just a Solicitor?

Thanks guys, think I will have to get myself a barrister then.

I have just got home to find a letter advising that the CAFCASS officer who wrote the report is on holiday on the date of the hearing, so I've got a stay of execution whilst a new date is sorted.

What sort of prep work can I do to help the Barrister? I guess the following would help but don't know what else I can offer
- A chronological list of events
- What I actually want
- Points that have arisen from various correspondence that I think are relevant.

its such a waiting game our final hearing got changed three times!

can you get any letters from the childrens school confirming the days that you normally pick them up on to prove you have been active in their life since you moved out?

what you have listed for a barrister sounds good, as much info as you can give them the best and then they can decide what they need to use from it.
