Just have some questions I'm hoping people can answer for me.
I'm preparing SC and self-represented. I'm in Ontario. This concerns custody/access of our 4 year old boy.
I'm curious to know the procedure. For previous documents filed in court, the Respondant produced and "answer" to refute my arguemnts. In turn, my lawyer filed a response to her answer and the allegations made within (Was using a lawyer before - but the money ran out). This was done leading up to Case Conference.
Will this same procedure happen in SC?
What kind of interaction can I expect from the judge during SC? Being self-represented, and having only one court appearence as such, I am unsure if questions will be directed at me, will I be asked to explain my reasoning, what should I expect will actually happen in there?
Another question. I am the Applicant. The process has progressed to Settlement Conference come January. What would happen if I withdraw my original application? Is this even possible? Could the Respondant force the process to continue?
Its been suggested to me I prepare a Parenting Plan, and present it at SC. This may sound a little clueless, but I'm not sure how I would segui into that? Offer it as an exhibit of eveidence?
Looking over the forms, there are questions relating to my preparedness in having conducted interviews with witness'. Am expected to have this information already? I would have thought that was more of a trial thing.
Anyways... Piecing it together through the confusion with your help.
Thanks.
