Jeez, that's a lot of money, but worth every penny.

Will be thinking of you and sending positive vibes

Mrs JFW

Good luck today debbie,

My friend went ot NZ 18 months ago and her ex wouldn't consent to her taking their daughter at first. They had to go to court and I think they decided what is the best interests of the children. Don't know your circumstances, but my friend had a good case as her ex didn't support the child and didn't see her on a regualar basis. Needless to say she won her case, off they went and they are having a ball. Hope the outcome is positive for you too.

i'd only charge you £100 an hour, but then i'm only a joiner

arghh, thanks steve, ever thoughtful!

actuall. i just want to make a change to the fee...... get ready, i nearly fell off the bloody chair.......£155 plus VAT!!!!!!!!! £2000 plus vat for court fees :scared:
its one of the partners whos dealing with the case.

things went ok, i'm just praying now that when my ex contacts me later after seeing his solicitor, he realises that we'll both lose a lot of money if we go for the court order! he could end up paying court costs! which from the meanest man in the land, would be a frightening prospect!!!

things sounded positive. the kids will have to talk to a caffcass worker who then gives her opinion to the judge, so they might not even have to speak to a judge. but, because things can drag on, if things aren't sorted soon, then it would be too late to put ryan on the visa application cos he'll be 18 in may.

so, thats the story so far my friends, i'll keep you posted if ex rings me with his decision and thank you all for your kind words of encouragement.

see you sunday at the meet steve

It is a lot of money Debbie, but worth it if it works out.

Hopefully your ex will see sense.

What sort of time frame are they talking about the kids seeing a caffcase worker?

Fingers crossed for you

not sure about that one shirley, she said that its not the court dates that are a problem because you can sort dates out in advance, its actually the caffcass workers who can hold things up.

she did say though that she wouldn't charge me for certifying all our documents!!!!! i should think bloody not!

anyway, if you all don't mind, could you all send me positive vibes please, as i'm expecting the call from the ex soon!!! or even a bit of K if you can spread a little.

Mrs JFW

Here's sending you lots of positive vibes debbie..................I've everything crossed for you. good luck x
