I have a Case Conference tomorrow and I'm the respondent and I filed my brief 6 days in advance without receiving the brief from the applicant. I also filed the 14 c 2 days in advance. I am representing my self since I do not have the money for a retainer but have used a laywer to help with the filing and such. It is less then 24 hours till my case conference and I received a call from the lawyer i used for my paper work to say that my ex's lawyer just sent here their brief. My lawyer replied to her lawyer that I am representing myself and that it should have been sent to me personally and that sending it to the lawyer made it invalid. Secondly anytime my ex's lawyer sent me papers they were always delivered to me, so i don't know why she decided to send them some where else. So the question is, when i go to court tommorrow do I tell them her lawyer didn't file the brief with in 7 days as required and also sent it to the wrong place? Also does this mean the case conference will be rescheduled most likey?
Also I'm a father of a 5yr old boy. My comon-law ex has decided to seve me with papers as she wishes more child support and has also filed for sole custody. She has put in her affidavit that she has primarily cared for the child since birth and has primarily responsible for decision-making involving the child and his been in her sole custody since we seperated in Feb 2011. What she was not aware is that I was keeping a journal of how much time I was spending with him and when I had him over night and such. Which was 3 times a week and overnight every second weekend plus extra. I asked he why she made it look like I had nothing to do with him and she replied..." I was told to shoot for the moon and hope for the best.".... My question is I have proof and witnesses to the time I spend with my son and decisons I make while he is with me, so how does the court look upon this? Does she need to explain herself and be held accountable or should I expect anything from this?
Thx
