To keep a long story short my hubby and I made a leave application of a placment order ( for my nephew by marriage) we couldn't come forward within care proceedings but did as soon as we heard the final verdict.
We went to court this week and we are now getting an ISW to come and complete a SGO assessment before the next hearing. She has asked that I contact my ex from 12 years ago, I have tried but I have had no response from him. What can I do if he won't speak with her. His daughter who use to stay with us at weekends (she has grown up now) she says she is happy to speak with them.
Obviously worried about this, the other concern I have is legal fees.We are paying for solicitor, plus barrister and the ISW assessment. I am going to have to take a loan out now to cover my barrister for the next hearing which if successful will not be the last hearing. Is there anyway if we succeed that the LA would cover any of this??
