message from his lawyer

[littleman]

today I have telephone message from his lawyer stating I have til friday to reply to her serving me........thought I had 10days

[Lindsay]

What were you served with?

[littleman]

I served him first with my intentins for sole custody and support order, also for back extraordinary expenses to be covered.......

[littleman]

i was understanding that I have 10days to file my answer......our court date is less than a week away

[Lindsay]

So you served your husband with an application, and his lawyer served you with an answer? If that is the case, then yes, you have 10 days to respond to your husband's answer by serving and filing a reply.

[Lindsay]

Okay, I'm a bit confused! Here is the breakdown:

1. Applicant serves respondent with application
2. Respondent has 30 days to serve and file answer (or 60 days if respondent lives outside Canada and US)
3. Applicant has 10 days to serve and file a Reply to the respondent's answer.

Have you attended at your case conference (first appearance) yet? If so, did a judge order you to file your answer within 10 days?

[littleman]

no case conference is next week
what do I do about her phoning me and stating I have two days to respond to their answer

[Lindsay]

Sorry, I'm having trouble with this one

Were you served with an Application, or an Answer? In other words, are you the applicant in this proceeding, or the respondent?

[littleman]

you stated he has 30days to respond to me........well I filed on April 9th and his response was delivered to my home (I havent recieved it yet whereas Im still at work)
