Hi Starr, I don't know the answer, but am in the same position. I constantly feel torn between wanting the next stage and not being ready for it too. I am sort of hoping they don't contact us until after his GCSE's but then I'm panicking that if it goes to court it could take ages and could he end up being 18 by then :-( So stressful. Hope you're okay xx
My person waited about 16 months from arrest to charges. Then everything seems to move rather quickly. From charge to plea hearing then crown court it will be about 8 weeks. I know what you mean about wanting things to forward but then not wanting it to at the same time x
It's hell ! 3 yrs from my autistic son being arrested to first court appearance. It took 2 yrs from arrest for forensics and then another year before a decision from Cps. Fairly quick in comparison from then moving forward. Just expecting the worst and the limbo will be over. I think the police don't rush if RUA as no timescales needed.
My ex's case has just gone to CPS after his second interview and his solicitor said that current wait time is 3-6 months. This is on top of an 18 month wait for forensics to come back.
