Think it’s worth clarifying something.
An order would be made. If Sam wants to go back to court she would NOT HAVE to have a solicitor, but she would need to pay the £250 enforcement and return to court fee.
There after it can add up as it probably would not be just one hearing, and she would be liable for all the fees incurred by the court (but not by R and J if they want legal representation)
A court would make arrangements that were suitable within their district. So before an order was made, whilst both parties are still in the courthouse, a judge would look up to see where the nearest contact centre is (for example) and this would have to be agreed upon by both parties. In the case it would put out one party more, it can be agreed that one party might contribute towards petrol, parking etc for contact to be more suitable at a centre.
If a contact centre is not in a suitable location, they will find a CAFCAS officer that will facilitate supervised contact in a similar situation in a place of choice, ie a play centre etc. They will sit in the entire time and take notes.
Contact in centres or likewise is not a permanent solution, they are anything from 4 weeks to 16 weeks on average depending on the situation and then they attempt to move it on to other contact forms.
I do not know what Sams situation was regarding their arrangement, but I would imagine that they probably started with contact in this way, and once it moved out of the contact centre or whatever, R and J stopped showing up or some sort, leading to parental alienation... which she now cannot afford to return to fight. And as there is no longer legal aid for these situations she is stuck. Unfortunately fathers for justice only help.. fathers.
Sam. If you read here. You can contact me for help anytime.
