ex took child out of province what can i do

[clc]

hi all, i am in a really sticky situation, here it is, my girlfriend and i lived in ontario, we had a baby, she decided she wanted to move to another province so i agreed, i signed a paper allowing her to move with our child and i was to follow when i rented out our house, so 2 months later i packed up the house and moved where she found us a place, i sent her money for first and last, i got there and we argued which i think was all planned, i left to cool down, i went to go back to where she was staying and i had a restraining order slapped on me and a child protective order against me, i then left the province cam back to ontario and she a week later charged me with assault, so now i can't get legal aid and there is a court date coming up soom for custody, i can't have any contact with her because of this child protective order and the restraining order, what do i do now, i haven't done anything wrong and now i'm afarid that i will never see my kid again, we live so far away from eachother, our child was born in ontario so can i force her to come back to ontario now that she has filed all this stuff with the alberta courts, i think her move was all thought out because evrything happened way too fast, please help, it seems like the lawyers i have talked to don't want to get involved because it's in 2 different provinces, thanks.

I would talk to duty counsel where you live and see if you can file a motion in your local courthouse. Also bring the document in which you signed that permitted her to move in the first place. The longer you wait to investigate this the more difficult it is get her to come back. You may also have no choice but to make the court appearance in Alberta.

Also, document all events that transpired between you, from the time you let her leave up until you moved out to Alberta.

If you signed without knowing your 'rights' and what she was intending on ultimately doing, you can plead that you didn't know your full rights. I'd do as the previous poster said and speak with Duty Counsel at the courthouse - they're free and very useful.

Good luck

My ex just signed a legal agreement with me saying that I could move but we were both very clear that it was not multiple moves and it was to be close to my parents. I can't just move and move and move and he deals with it.

if you were still together everything seemed okay and you were still going to live together then why would you need to sign a paper allowing her to move? It kind of sounds like you were set up to me.

You said that she had you charged with assault, did you do anything to warrent the charge?
