Going to court for residency orders?

Question

i am in court next week to begin proceedings to get a residency order for my 3 girls. It's been a long time coming and it's without a doubt the best thing i could do for them, i'm just not sure what to expect from it , how it works etc i don't even know what to wear ? any one with some advice please answer this it would be greatly appreciated

Answer 1

Don't worry about what to wear - just be clean and comfortable for te sake of your own confidence. Phone your local Womens Aid, who may be able to get someone to go to court with you, and will certainly be able to give you advice and support.

No 2 cases are the same, but you really shouldnt worry about it too much - the court system in the UK is transformed from where it was a few years ago.

Very best wishes, and good luck

Answer 2

i would say wear the smartest thing you own and always be honest, never lie and also good luck.

who has residency of them at the moment?
