Hi guys,
Just a quick overview. The mother left the kids with me to be with her new partner. We were separated for 5 months when this happened. Twins were 1 year and 8 months old at the time. They have lived with me for 1 year and 7 months with the last year being 5 nights a week.
I initiated mediation last year to change the schdule as kids are starting school this year. We only had one session then she requested the certificate to proceed to court. She applied for recovery order despite having the kids two nights week. Would only allow me to have the kids by picking them up from daycare Friday afternoon and dropping back on Monday morning.
I signed the consent orders at the first hearing to see my kids as did not have any contact for 7 weeks. Have the case conference in a few weeks.
I did a drug test and had zero reading on everything and kids a safe and very well looked after. No medical records of injuries and welfare have never been involved. Never had a DVO or AVO on me. I have been accused of being a drug user and neglect my kids and that they are in danger.
She has put kids into daycare full day 5 days a week. On two occasions in past 2 months my son has been very ill and she was " unavailable to stay at home " and I collected them from daycare to be in my care.
At the interim hearing I wish to return back to our schdule we have had for past year, return to mediation and both be enroled
into counselling.
She was fraudulently claiming Centrelink payments for over a year and I recently found out when the Child Support Agency came after me despite having kids 5 nights a week. I made a appeal and was successful and the decision was over turned. This was the catalyst for everything that has happened.
I am a hard working devoted father and did not received any child support or Centrelink payments to assist in raising my kids. Kids have been living with my partner for over a year and she has help raise my kids like her own.
Any ideas as to what will happen at the interim hearing?
