H i Maria i sent you a pm don´t know if it´s worked though as i´m new to this.
Just got back from the solicitor who represented us (I use that term loosely!) He told us as he had not received notification from the court our grandaughter did not have to be handed over this Saturday for access. He told us it was my daughters responsibility to tell the father who attacked her he could not see the baby. After much arguing along the lines of why are we paying you and the risk of violence to my daughter he reluctanly agreed to ring the other solicitor.
10 minutes later we got a call saying he had just received the court order from the court and the visit had to hapen after all ! You can imagine the range of emotions we went through! We also found out that the father can take the baby out on his own on access despite his latest conviction for drunk driving and stealing a car! Don´t forget he is also a convicted murderer now with free access to my grandaughter.
When we asked why the injunction for not coming within 200mtrs of my daughter did´nt include my wife who he threatened to cut her throat we were told that the police should have done a seperate denuncia for this and so it cannot be counted now. The farce just goes on and on.
Finally in 30 days there is a custody hearing being brought by the other family. Because my daughter managed to pursade her boss to give her a job again we are not entitled to any help with legal costs (This hearing is another 1300 euros in fees! ) altough because he has no job he gets it for free! So the moral of the story seems to be commit the crime and get full rights and you don´t have to pay a thing!
The embassy say they cannot express a passport we just have to wait as normal and then take a view from there.
Every day seems to get worse i can´t believe that there is a justice system worse than the UK for rewarding criminals but i think i´ve found one in Spain!
