Hi All,
I have an interim FVRO on my partners ex wife and she has objected to it which was expected. The final hearing is next month and I have no idea how to present my case or where to start. It has been almost 4 years of absolute hell and although I have the FVRO, she has still been abusing me. Ok.... so it's not the violent kind of abuse but I'd almost prefer that as bruises heal much faster than the mental and emotional pain this woman is causing me. What's worse is that my partner and I are trying to blend families and she is poisoning my step children who come to our place with a head full of lies and confusion and now my 7 year old daughter is asking questions about why they are always saying nasty things.
My ex husband is not thrilled about being involved but has said he will be a witness as he has seen the mental tortue (far too long to explain) and my partner is going to be a witness but I don't have money for a lawyer and I don't know where to start. I've read that my case should open with the most recent issues/events so I guess that's a hint but there is so much that my head can't logically break it down. I suffer with PTSD and had an abusive marriage but I get help to cope though I'm worried I will freeze on the day and make no sense of the whole nightmare.
Any tips?
