One thought on “Why services need to understand the financial impact of care proceedings on parents”

1. How can you possibly get a job when you can have three contacts per week, parenting assessments , meetings . Court dates, you have to pay for travel to all of these places also .

   The LA in my experience do not offer contacts out of these hours and employers are not flexible.

   I am in proceedings at present and do 18 hour days to make ends meet. I have asked to get a day time job and have been told they won’t change contacts.

   My children were removed because I use work as an escape mechanism according to a pyscologist.

   So I’m dammed if I do and dammed if I don’t.
