After my ex-wife made allegations that were never substantiated, I was suddenly cut off from my five-year-old daughter. No investigation found any wrongdoing on my part, yet the family court granted interim orders that reduced my time to supervised visits only.
The supervision centre had a six-month waiting list. By the time I got through, my daughter barely recognised me. She had been told things about me that were not true.
I spent over $85,000 in legal fees over 18 months just to restore basic contact. The final orders gave me regular unsupervised time, but I can never get those 18 months back. My daughter missed learning to ride a bike with me, her first day of school, countless bedtime stories.
The system assumes guilt before evidence is examined. There needs to be a faster pathway to investigate allegations and restore contact when they are unfounded.
