Hi all,
Just updating on my progress through the court system. The Final Order took time away from the children with their Father and reduced me to an Uncle (Sole Custody) so I have filed the appeal ($240 here in Ontario just to file) and am now looking at $1000 for the transcripts and probably another 2-300 for copies of all the docs I need. I know the final order isn't the right decision and even though I have no idea where I'm going to get the money for the appeal, I have to continue to try and have the courts see that the children need and deserve their Father as much as their Mother.
I also found out that an appeal is a civil trial and has different procedures and forms....interesting but not unmanageable. Will continue to document the procedure for future reference. I hope no one else has to go this route, in fact I hope the laws change soon but they won't if some of us don't walk this path. If my case can wake some up to what's going on, then so be it.
