Hi All,
In December 2019 I initiated proceedings via the recommendation of a Registrar that we were placed in front of due to a contravention breached by my former partner.
Since then, the Judge ordered a second family report be done so that she can make a decision and stated " I’m not going to hold off deciding ..... till 2021". The family report was completed in Feb 2020 and the results made available in April 2020.
We then got put before a different Judge in May 2020, whom also stated "this is absurd" but he deferred it to a two day hearing for June 2021 back with the Judge from Dec 2019. I then received an email recently to say it has been pushed out to Aug 2021.
All I asked for was a small variation of orders made in 2016 by consent of both parties, again, as suggested by a Registrar. Obviously my former partner does not agree and is happy with the delay. The Further Family report agrees with my request and has actually suggested more than what I was after in her findings.
Is there a way to get the process sped up in any way? I don't mind the two day hearing, although I struggle to understand why, I just think the delay is inappropriate given both of the Judges own words. My former partner has now begun to gaslight by contravening orders to cause conflict between us (albeit small issues) and I just want things to come to an end.
Thanks and Regards
Wayne
