@solicitorchat A Solicitor can guide you in making an application and understanding what you are asking the court to help with. Even an initial meeting can help. With remote hearings and hybrid hearings a solicitor can support you through the process so its worth having advice. #Solicitorchat
@solicitorchat The court will consider what issues the applicant has and whether there have been breaches. CAFCASS will do safeguarding checks to see if there are any issues before any changes can be made to an exisiting order. Issues of DV/abuse will be taken into consideration. #Solicitorchat
@solicitorchat COVID19 has created a unique problem for parents who have orders in place with self isolating etc. Most recent vary applications have been to cater for this change. Take into consideration the long term impact and effect on the child. #Solicitorchat
@solicitorchat At the moment they should consider delay as the Court system is struggling with backlog of work. There may be delay in having the case heard and the way hearings take place has also changed. #Solicitorchat
@solicitorchat The Child Arrangements programme sets out that before any application can be made for a child, mediation has to be attempted first. This would include amending a CAO. There are however exemptions from mediation and where those fit mediation is not required. #Solicitorchat
If you are looking to amend a CAO it is important to get legal advice depending on the motive to make amends. It may be an urgent situation or it may be because circumstances change. Legal advice can support the person taking the right track. #Solicitorchat
