Assessment reports are nothing more than expensive toilet paper until you have had a chance to dispute them and cross examine the Maker if the report in court. If your ex files a motion to have some or all of the recommendations implemented prior to trial you tell the judge you are disputing it.

Another thing to be aware of is that these reports become outdated rather quickly. Especially if there is a material change in circumstances or if a year or more goes by. We had an assessment done in 2013 and 2015. Both are too old to be of much assistance to any judge as so much has happened since. Huge, huge waste of money! If I’d known, I never would have co-operated in the first place. Especially since it was ordered due to my STBX’s mental instability and safety concerns about him near the children (whom he had assaulted).Hindsight is wonderful.Last edited by Stillbreathing; 02-25-2018, 12:12 AM.

As well, as long as the history (time line) didn't impact the recommendations of the OCL... not much churns on that either... Other than the fact it is a clerical error easily corrected at trial if necessary.
Originally posted by youngdad91 View PostHas missed the most recent unfounded CAS allegation against me, and didn't have any discussion with child's most recent therapist, or any of the child's teachers - just the principle.
Originally posted by youngdad91 View PostSays too many high conflict marks that make joint cusdoty unworkable.
Originally posted by youngdad91 View PostDoesn't state why sole custody to me can't work, and has not made any comments to my proposals for parallel parenting.
Nothing stops you from doing this at any time!
Originally posted by youngdad91 View PostAt the top where it states the parties position, she's missed my proposal for parallel parenting, but has it in the meeting with her.
Originally posted by youngdad91 View PostShe doesn't comment on it in her discussions and recommendations. I don't think she understood my position.
Originally posted by youngdad91 View PostFurther, thought I was seeking sole custody with equal access, my position for sole custody was actually access to mom would be alternate weekends
Originally posted by youngdad91 View Posthas left out comments from records where mom delaying my access at exchange centre for over 6 months, left out our agreement on counselling inter alia. Just has focused on the disagreements and conflict, and has not talked about any of our agreements.
Originally posted by youngdad91 View Posthas also left out a police incident where mom was denying me access and accused me of criminal harassment. has basically written the records putting bad things about me to light, and hiding items about mom - in terms of conflict.
Originally posted by youngdad91 View PostMy lawyer and I will be disputing the report.
Originally posted by youngdad91 View Postthe issue of bedroom wasn't an issue, and OCL wrote that I would be preparing a bedroom for the child as she matures to give her privacy. There is a lot of good stuff in there about me but the majority of the focus of the OCL has been to paint us as high conflict, and to hide things mom has done to create conflict, such as unilaterally interrupting the status qup in the middle of the OCL investigation, requiring an urgent motion by me to restore that status quo. ... etc etc
Originally posted by youngdad91 View PostIsn't saying joint custody can't work because of conflict usually the easy way out for social workers ?
Originally posted by youngdad91 View PostThe OCL says has gaps in access should be minimized, but has failed to say how a 5-5-2-2 would not meet that requirement of minimizing gaps. Hasn't said a single word about why shared access can't work.
Originally posted by youngdad91 View PostThe process was also commented as being delayed by OCL stating that there was delay in receiving information from 3rd parties, and interpersonal issues with the social worker (I think she is going through a separation herself - and was late to appointments obviously having things going on at home.
Originally posted by youngdad91 View PostMy lawyer is surprised at how long it took given how short her recommendations were.. half a page..

The OCL and Section 30 nonsense needs to stop now! They are not the holy grail of family law.
