Every stage of proceedings, prepared properly

Inside the courtroom
What to expect at each hearing
Knowing what each hearing is for helps you prepare and stay calm on the day.
FHDRA
The First Hearing Dispute Resolution Appointment. The court reviews safeguarding, identifies the issues and checks whether agreement is possible.
Dispute Resolution Appointment
Held once reports and statements are available. The court narrows the issues and tries again to reach agreement before a final hearing.
Final hearing
Where agreement is not reached, the court hears evidence from both parents and any witnesses, then makes a decision based on your child's welfare.
CAFCASS
The role of CAFCASS in your case
CAFCASS advises the court on what is best for your child. How you engage with them can influence the outcome.
Safeguarding checks
Before the first hearing, CAFCASS carries out police and local authority checks and speaks to both parents by phone.
Section 7 report
The court may ask CAFCASS or social services to prepare a report on your child's welfare and make recommendations.
Wishes and feelings
Depending on age and understanding, CAFCASS may speak with your child to understand their wishes and feelings.
