Urgent Advice
Hey there,
I posted a little while about my partner's case. We had the final contested hearing cancelled on 18th july and was given dates for 18th and 19th August. The case is expedited so everything has been listed quickly to date.
We now have a problem with the ex trying to stall it. She had it relisted once from a one to two day hearing. She is now asking for another adjournment and for them not to relist it between 1st august to 17th Sep and from 1st to 10th Oct. I'm sorry but this seems to be taking the pee a little. My partner's daughter is deeply unhappy which CAFCASS identified but they don't seem to care about that. She is claiming a family holiday in that time and says her barrister is unavailable in those dates. The august listing also gives us a circuit judge and she has requested for a very specific district judge surely this is not allowed?
We are starting to feel like they are favouring her and that my partner will have an unfair trial. I have written an objection letter as knew she would try this. What is likelihood of this happening again? Is there anything I can do about it? 8 weeks is a ridiculous request for them to not relist in. Can they just adjourn every time she wants to go on holiday or go out for coffee?
I'm starting to have not faith in this system at all. It's been identified there's an unhappy child and questionable emotional abuse and no-one seems to a give to hoots about it.
Frustrated!
Thanks J
