So it's been 6 weeks since the knock. OH (now ex) out on bail and only had one supervised visit with our chidren. WE said we were being released from section47 but I've not heard a thing about moving forward for more supervised visits etc.
I've been told forensics should be back within 16 weeks and charging / cps within 6 months but reading through the forum many of you talk about it taking years. Is this the same all over it just certain areas?
Also my eldest will be 16 in August will the supervised visit stop then or is that until they are 18?
Thank you

I'm sorry, but that timeframe is incredibly improbable anywhere in the UK. My ex was told similar and forensics actually took 18 months! 12-18 months for forensics is the norm, then several more months for CPS.
it's been a year since the knock for us and we are still waiting forensics. X
Thanks for getting back to me. It's awful to know we will be in this limbo for months and months being realistic
Ours was about 5 months til forensics, then another two til charged, then another two til plea hearing, and another two til sentencing. So 11 months from knock to sentencing.
Almost two years for my OH. Plea hearing was a few weeks ago. Sentencing will probably be late April which will take it to two years mark. It's honestly crazy how long these take!
