Do I dare say it out loud??
Ex signed Final Minutes of Settlement at yesterday's TMC agreeing to Joint Custody of S2!!! Woo hoo!!! I'm legally his daddy!! (pending his birth certificate being amended)
A copy of the Draft Final Order I filed with my brief was signed by both of us with a couple of minor changes and the judge turned it into our Final Minutes of Settlement (which will now be turned into the Final Order by the court).
It hasn't really sunk in yet and I won't completely relax until I get my official copy with the court seal on it.
It's been a long and stressful two years since I filed my application for paternity testing, but with my parents help and support we made it through all the crap thrown my way trying to keep me away from my son.
I know this is probably not the end of family court but I hope we can at least take a break for a couple of years until we need to update the parenting schedule when S2 starts school.
Thanks to LF32, I have it in our agreement that S2 will attend JK at the elementary school directly across the street from my home (as long as neither of us moves).
We agreed to joint decision making, no travel outside Ontario without written consent and a mobility clause that neither one of us can move from the small town we currently live in without consent of the other party (or court order).
I've learned a lot from the members posts on here who also have to deal with high conflict ex's and have been grateful for answers to my questions.
Thanks to all!
