Exclamation Trial date is set, now I need help
Hi All,

Trial date is set, now I need to find out the procedures, paperwork and timing for everything. I have tried to find information but have come up literally empty. With my limited financial resources I cannot retain a lawyer or even visit with one so I am on my own....anyone have any experience pushing for trial. I know I'm going to trial, she will not settle, she can't.

Many lawyers offer 30 - 60 minute intitial consultations for free. You could try that, perhaps with a couple of different lawyers to get their advice on how to move forward.

The answer rests with the Family Rules... It's a good parenting manual.

LV - What are the "Family Rules"? Can you provide a link to more info please? Are you referring to one of the acts or statutes?

Go figure - who would of thought one would have to learn such information just to be a parent.... I believe the TR could consist of:

Application - Answer and Reply if any for starters;

Financials of both parties(depending on the issues);

Form 22 and response if applicable and Form 20;


Book Of Evidence

Evidence must conform to statute. Previous affidavit evidence from either of the parties may be submitted and or crossed.


Book of Authorities


Your selected precedence.


Summons

Most effective. Experts or relevant others.



Tight serving - filing deadlines that should be followed.


Most of the work rests with the Applicant...

Considering Item 25 is on the agenda - Don't forget about Item 24 and be sure to process independent Item 18.
