LV, My knowledge of legal terminology is not as profound as yours, please explain, “seek leave of the court to file a motion or something to that effect. If it is silent, then I believe you could bring forth a motion for interim relief.”
Leave of the court? Relief?
Sorry for sounding illiterate.
It didn’t occur to me to get a copy of the recommendations of the judge, as I was trying to clear my head on what had happened. The decision is not so ambiguous per say; it is the way things seem to play out with us in court.
We sought legal advice, paid a handsome amount for an opinion letter outlining the legal process necessary depending on which avenue we were going to take. We made our choice only after having all the questions answered and inquiring on how to accomplish our choice. Yes we self represented and I know you’ll say that wasn’t wise. We have done better self represented than not. Lawyers, no offence to any in the forum, but none that we have retained have done anything more than line their pockets. We got no where in 7 years with a lawyer. Once we went in alone we got monthly unsupervised access, outside the city in our home town etc. It’s just this BS with the ex insisting on psychologist assessments and counselling and such and then not participating and getting away with it. Then once the “court ordered” assessment is complete the court completely disregards it and insists more counselling take place and a return to supervised visitation. Had the judge bothered to read the doctor’s assessment report she would have seen that NOT a one of the allegations of the ex are true, but the complete opposite. AND that the child did not say the things she did (which by the way were exactly what the mother was saying) because of something we said or did but rather based on feelings she may have acquired from the mothers behaviour and reactions to the father. And that the child had an unusually acute bond to the mother only seen in children where the estranged parent is not present nor has been present for quite some time. If that doesn’t scream PAS I don’t know what does.
I will look into getting the judge's recommendations, and take it from there.
Thanks LV
