What is a 9.5 investigation by cafcass?

It is an investigation under rule 9.5 of the Family Proceedings Rules 1991 to determine whether a child should have separate representation (e.g. by a guardian ad litem) in family proceedings. A recommendation can be made by CAFCASS, but the order must be made by a circuit judge. Rule 9.5 applications have increased in recent years and are made in 1 case in 10. CAFCASS do not have the resources to meet demand, and there is a 'postcode lottery'. See the President's guidance on the Appointment of Guardians in Accordance with Rule 9.5. You can support your application using these precendents: Re A (Contact Separate Representation) 2001 1 FLR 715 and Mabon v Mabon [2005] 2 FLR 1011.
