In response to the Family Report, and the recommendations of the ICL that agree with the Family Report, I am seeking full parental responsibility, with no access for the other parent. Child is a teenager and has lived with me since birth, has had limited contact with father, he refuses to pay child support (massive debt), and there is also an AVO against him. There are also two independent specialist reports (private) that state no contact is in the best interest of the child.

Although my lawyers seem confident, I am filled with anxiety. The Family Report writer explained that although his recommendations are unusual, this is an extreme case. The ICL has told my child (a teenager) that he supports the Family Report, as have the two independent specialists. I guess I am just looking for some reassurance that although the orders sought are unusual, that we have a chance of getting them.

We are now in the Family Court due to the complex nature of this case.

stress less. The family report writer is gold.... That is the main deal for a magistrate to make a decision.

How old is the child?
even if you dont get sole parental responsibility, you're likely to get an order that states the child spends time with dad at time that are mutually agreeable. So the idea is that if the kid does ever want to catch up with dad the child can... But there is no obligation.

The Family Report, specialists, and the ICL recommended no time with the other parent, including no phone or email contact. They have also recommended he be prohibited from knowing her address, or going to her activities. (He doesn’t know her address, or her activities). The child is in her early teens and has consistently told all legal people / specialists she does not wish to see him again, (had not seen him for a couple of years). The whole thing has caused her massive distress.

Hey, je filmverslag heeft diezelfde warme, nostalgische sfeer waarbij kleine imperfecties juist bijdragen aan de beleving van de herinneringen in plaats van eraan af te doen. Ik heb zelf ook momenten gehad waarop ik even afstand nam van alles en ben toen op vegas hero terechtgekomen, waar ik begon met korte sessies na een reeks verliezen en daarna een iets grotere gok nam op een eenvoudig spel dat uiteindelijk uitbetaalde en hielp om mijn gedachten te verzetten. Daarnaast zijn er bonussen voor spelers uit Nederland, wat het makkelijker maakt om zonder druk even te ontspannen en daarna weer met frisse energie verder te gaan.
