Hello all!

(The irony of posting on Wikivorce on Valentine's Day hasn't passed me by!)

So, in our case, at last Directions hearing three months ago, Judge ordered a wishes and feelings report to be completed by CAFCASS prior to next directions hearing in a couple of weeks. It was hopefully at that directions hearing with a clear indication lodged with the court via CAFCASS that my application was in line with DD's desires that the entire sorry tale would be over.

However CAFCASS have completely failed to conduct interview with DD much less filed a wishes and feelings report, haven't contacted either the ex or me in any capacity during this three month period and have been entirely absent.

So, ex has stated that she's going to apply for an adjournment (both of us are LIPs) as the report hasn't been compiled.

Can I object to it being adjourned? DD and I have spent more time with each other than allowed in the order and it is clearly to DDs benefit and she has regularly asked Ex for more staying contact with me. I believe these are facts the court should be made aware of at the scheduled directions hearing.

Any help gratefully recieved as always.

Thanks :)
