Question posted in the Family Law category relating to Gauteng
Good day. We were at the Family Advocates offices for them 'to conduct an investigation into the best intrest of the minor child' last year March. We are not agreeing on my contact with the child at all and the mother constantly makes different accusations and wants me to stay out of the child's life. She now told the Family Advocate I assaulted the child before Christmas at our last visit, which is not true, and now refuses any visitations. I believe she hurt the child to prove this and I did tell the Family Advocate. We now again received a letter from the Family Advocate to come and see them without the child 'to conduct an investigation into the residency and contact to the minor child' with the appointment being on very short notice. What could this mean?
