Thank you for your enquiry. I am afraid we will not be able to offer any proper advice without sight of the Order(s) and dates of such orders or hearing dates. It appears you may not have received the Notice of Hearing (was this in 2015 ?). It may be prudent to get in touch with a solicitor in your area to assist in your matter - to advise and discuss your options once they have had the oportunity to look at all the requisite paperwork.

Kind regards,

Parent never knew about Hearing.  Never received the Summons.  The Hearing went ahead.  How can this be deemed as a Legal Hearing?

I am sorry to hear of the difficult situation you are in.

The court should be putting any child's welfare as a priority, but the solicitor may well have been concerned at you finding yourself in breach of a court order. There should be a CAFCASS (welfare) officer allocated to your case. I would strongly suggest you speak to them and provide them with all the evidence of the adverse affect contact has had on your daughter. The matter will also ultimately need to be reviewed by the court. Clearly an answer needs to be found as to why your daughter does not want to see her father, and whether there is anything that can be done to mend their relationship.

I can appreciate there are few legal aid solicitors available these days. It maybe worth checking the search facility on resolution.org.uk as these are specialist family solicitors. You may however have to act in person in the meantime, but this is not unusual due to funding cuts and both CAFCASS and the court should still ensure that the correct outcome is found.

I am going through a child supervised contact situation with my husband (separated since Sept 2018).
