I recently went to trial back in mid-September, to which I was vilified as the bad father due to minor occurrences and half truths. I self represented myself and she had a lawyer that exploited everything she could.
Needless to say I did not come away with an Order in my favour including many of the requests I wanted or near enough parenting time. And the mother of my children has sole custody to which I feel she is abusing now.
The trial judge gave his endorsement and recommended we settle any minor orders sought in writing through her lawyer. I received the draft Order in early October and replied promptly requesting a few minor amendments. One being adding an item addressing the Christmas break that was near identical in both of our orders being sought but omitted in the judges endorsement.
This reply seemed to be ignored as the Final Order came in the mail to me later exactly the way it was drafted from her lawyer.
My current access regime is every other weekend access and once a week dinner time access plus holidays as establish in the Order.
I have may several request via email for extended time to which she denies me for in my view are invalid reasons and redirects me to deal through her lawyer.
The past Christmas break I sent her lawyer my proposal back in early November so I could allow time to book off with my employer. It was all but ignored until the second week in December to which she only agreed to half of the time I requested with no explanation at all.
Further issues have been submitted to her lawyer to address such as the lack of sending my son's inhalers for his asthma on a consistent basis.
I feel as if I am being stonewalled with the lack of responses to the concerns that have arisen over the past few months. I feel she is not complying with the clause in the order stating the Mother shall not withhold any reasonable requests for extended access.
What can I do to get responses to my concerns ? And what can I do to get my fair parenting time with my children?
