S66. Even in The Family Court of WA where they do things a little differently, to say the least, a Notice of Risk needs to be filed if allegations of family violence or child abuse or risk thereof is made. She has a VRO. In other states it is mandatory for all parties to file this form. Each Court has their own form but they are all for the same purpose.
A rational, caring parent who can show the Court that they have their children's best interests in mind and can raise concise and logical arguments, will get much further than one who is sidetracked and spends too much time complaining about their ex. The court and its processes can be very long and exhausting but you will get through it.
You are not the first parent to be ordered supervised time in the interim and you will not be the last. Stay focussed on the reason you are there, your kids! There is an end even if it does look a million miles away right now.
Thanks MartyK,
I have no choice other than to fight on for my 4 kids and I will fight for them all the way. One of the bigger than all of us situations is that this whole VRO/family court/lawyers/CSA is an industry in itself that don't care in the least about the children and the family. It's all about the money for most of them and the others its about keeping jobs.
What this discussing system/industry is doing amounts to nothing less than child abuse. Please tell me I'm wrong.
How can any caring system allow one parent to have complete control over the other with being able to use one of the systems tools and remove that parent from their children for 6 months or more before a chance to defend with no proof?
If that's not child abuse what is?
I have been in contact with politicians and heads of government departments and have had calls back from the ones I have ruffled feathers with already. I'm apparently going to receive a call from the attorney generals office shortly so I can discuss my concerns with them.
Looking forward to that.
3 separated men a day is the average suicide rate. Why? Where are their children? I can't see mine at Christmas because the family court said it's not my weekend.
Well WTF!!
Do we lie down and put up with this and say, "Well, we can't change it, or do we do something about it?
Let me know what you think.
