FATHER BLOCKED SEEING HIS KIDS FOR NO VAILD REASON........

    Evening All,


    I am a father of 2 young children, this week i attended court and way denied access to my children.

    This was a result of my ex partner application for a discharge of access being success. On the same day as i am unemployed a maintainence order was imposed at 20euro per week.

    I am know deciding weather to appeal or not and if so on what grounds. In the last 2 years i have seen my children only a few times as my ex partner denied me access or outlined the children were sick on access days.

    In court my ex stated she didnt trust me, this is taking into account i was only with my ex a few weeks, and she never met ANY of my family, friends or knows nothing about me. I also have a Garda Clearence.

    He lawyer looked to discredit me stating my behaviour was all over the place and i have mixed personalities. However she outlined why but with NO factual evidence to support her statements.

    In brief my ex told me she would do anything to stop me seeing my children as this is exactly what she has done.

    In Feb 2011 the last court date my ex and i was asked to go for an assessment last month we attended to my shock it was a psychological assessment. I refused to make my medical or legal records available.

    On this bases the access is now STOP until such time i complete such an assessment. My lawyer stated i can appeal but it will fail over the non assessment as it is a live issue and will always be until it is completed.

    Only today i have found out it is a section 47 and was shocked to see what is means as i would NEVER harm or hurt my children and there is no evidence to support this. The issue is with my ex partner and not with my kids and I who when i did have on access NEVER came to any harm.

    What can i do? I have 12 days left to make an appeal or not.

    Pretty much the only relevant advice is to talk to your solicitor. Legal advice isn't allowed on Boards (with good reason).

    Out of curiosity, why won't you complete the assessment? Standing your ground is all well and good, but at the moment it's a legal requirement for you. Why not do it, then campaign afterwards for removal of such archaic practices?

    EDIT: And while I appreciate what must be a frustrating time for you, spamming the site is a good way to get yourself banned

    Maybe one or more of the groups for fathers might also be able to help, on a practical level in various ways (e.g. the sorts of trends in cases, to see what is and isn't unusual; possible pitfalls, etc). Maybe someone can post such information?

    Best of luck, aguyincork.

    ETA: Found this in the resource directory:
    USFI http://www.usfi.ie/ is a group that provides support to unmarried and seperated fathers and holds meetings in Dublin
    Call 01-4514200.

    If money is an issue, in ringing a Dublin number, weekend calls from landlines to anywhere in Ireland are usually (always?) quite cheap i.e. around 1c a minute.

    Sorry if this is a personal question, but are you saying you have only spent a few weeks in total with your ex yet somehow got her pregnant twice? Or is it twins?
