Hi everyone. Please help. I will be self rep. for this issue and need your advice.
I have CC coming up in Feb. My ex brought a motion to change CS and Travel without my consent with our 14 y.o. She has Sole Custody. I had a lawyer for CS issue, but can't afford any more legal bills. So CS has been settled and only TRAVEL is remaining. I got the form for CC, but after I filled it out it seems too simple. Maybe I am missing something.
Please help with any advise:
*Is info I provided sufficient?
*I am trying to be impartial and not throw the blame around, but get my point across.
*Are my requests reasonable?
*Anything I should change or add or clarify?
Below I copied my CC brief because the file was too large to attach. My answers are in BOLD. I deleted sections that do not pertain to me like financial statements or anything to which my answer is No (does not apply). Thanks

PART 3: ISSUES FOR THIS CASE CONFERENCE
11.
What are the issues for this case conference? What are the important facts for this case conference?
The relationship between CHILD X and I was terminated unilaterally on many occasions by the CHILD X and encouraged by the applicant. Last contact between us took place over a year ago.
There is no valid reason why the Applicant wants to travel with the CHILD X without my consent. There has been no history of me ignoring any requests made by the Applicant. The applicant and the CHILD X have all my contact information and to obtain my consent, the forms could be mailed to me. They would be returned promptly.

What is your proposal to resolve these issues?
I would provide my consent to a reasonable travel with CHILD X.
Do you want the court to make a temporary or final order at the case conference about any of these issues?
Yes. (Give details.)
An Order requiring written consent of the Respondent father prior to permitting the Applicant mother to travel outside of Canada with The CHILD X.
I believe that the issue before the Court is straight forward and is brought before the Court by the Applicant without any valid reasons. I have signed Passport Application for the CHILD X mailed to me by the Applicant. I believe that this will be the last Passport Application to be signed by parents, since Child X will be the age of 16 in a little over a year. Thereafter, CHILD X will require Adult Passport Application.
