In Amiens, a dad puts his hand on a table, to be able to see his daughter

It is on a glass table that Fabrice stuck his hand, this Thursday morning. A visible action, on the first floor of the square Friand youth hostel, in Amiens, where the SOS Papa association organizes mediations between fathers and their children. For the father of the family, the objective is to warn about his situation: despite a court decision of June 16, which provides for meetings with his 17-year-old daughter, none have been organized since.

“SOS Papa were commissioned in June 2022 by an order from the Family Affairs Judge (JAF) to set up mediation sessions between my daughter and me. And it is currently November 3 and nothing has been put in place“, indicates Fabrice, at the microphone of France Bleu Picardie. A version that confirms the judgment that we have been able to consult. “I have tried everything in the most amicable and correct ways possible to get things done, it is not moving forward and the JAF order specifies that these sessions were to take place between September and December. So that means that in even more than two months, SOS Papa can no longer use the enforceability of the judgment to set up its sessions.”

A mobilization to enforce the judgment

By publicizing his fight, Fabrice hopes to be heard: “I am simply waiting for the application of the law. I have always respected and followed the law up to now. But I see that organizations like SOS Papa do not apply the request of the JAF since it is well written black on white that she asks in my favor to organize visiting rights in a neutral place within the premises of SOS Papa twice a month and until January 1, 2023.

In a few months, next May, Fabrice’s daughter will be 18, and will be an adult**. There will then be no way to enforce the judgment. ** “_Legally, after the 18 years of my daughter, I no longer have any legal recourse”. He says he is ready to spend the day and the day in the establishment, if the police do not come to dislodge him.

Contacted by France Bleu Picardie, SOS Papa Picardie kicks in touch: “the case went back to the Family Affairs Judge”says a manager, who declines further comment.
