Legal Help With Contact Orders Via Court
hi there
i have tried googling but nothing is very clear, basically i am a single parent on income support and i need to get a contact order in place and my childrens father is a so and so and thinks he lays down the rules etc. i have read it is £215 to apply to the court for a contact order but i cannot afford that sort of money, i no that legal aid for family law is only for under 18 and those involved in domestic violence so i wont get legal aid. i have found something called a remission fee and was wondering if anyone knows if i can get that to cover the cost for the contact order...i am already receiving legal aid for a criminal matter but they are completely different cases, any help is grateful as im at the end of my tethers with there father and need something in place legally asap!

Other than where there are special circumstances, you're required to attend a Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting before a court can consider your application.

"so the mediation people telling me that they cannot go any further anyway due to an ongoing court case is rubbish? "
No, its not rubbish. They've made 3 attempts to get him to mediation & he's refused. They can't go on & on trying - especially when he's said he's not going to do it. And who knows whether he'd come up with another excuse when the criminal case is settled?
Get the mediator to write to you confirming he refused 3 times to go to mediation & supply that to Court.
