Question for Logical Velocity?

hurt1,

You have the right idea. Give the lawyer as much information evidence and facts to work to build and present a prima facie stance. Submitting case law to the lawyer may also give them an additional angle and assess your stance further and perhaps develop a strategy.

I am not lawyer and I am no way connected with Jeff other than through this forum. I am a just a typical reasonable father and parent who was once faced with a difficult time. As such, I educated myself on the law which I do find fascinating. I learn something new everyday. There is significant grey areas in Family Law. For example: a recent court of appeal case [1] where the court held that the Children's Law Reform Act accounts for a child to have only one mother and one father. However, with this appeal case and judicial interpretation of the record; It is clear a child can now have more than one mother and father as this case demonstrates the child now has three parents. (Two mothers and one father.)


[1.] A.A. v. B.B., 2007 ONCA 2, http://www.ontariocourts.on.ca/decis...07ONCA0002.htm

I believe you got the right strategy already IE: have your lawyer write their lawyer a letter to start. IE: your lawyer will show some of the "cards" to support the stance but most likely will be keeping a few aces and wild cards up the sleeves for later.

HA! I thought you were a woman, actually...for some reason I thought that I had read you had gone through some troubling times with your own divorce and for some reason came to the sexist conclusion you were female. My bad

I spent hours today on the Can Law website, and not just on my stuff. There is a HUGE font of information on that site, just huge.

I think I missed my calling, maybe I should have been a lawyer.

We drove past his house today (hard not to, sometimes, since it's just up the street). My daugter started crying really hard in the backseat, begging me to stop so she could say Hi. She brought up how he didn't even say good-bye to her and wanted to know what she had done. Damn, tore my heart out. On a good note, we are going to look at a dog tomorrow. I'd been promising her for some time to get one and we found one through a rescue/adoption agency that looks and sounds like he'd be perfect. Looks like I may be adding a man to the house after all...LOL
