Hi everyone, we finally received my partners exes case conference brief for her motion to change from joint to sole custody. In her application she stated that she needed sole custody because communication had broken down because my partner wouldn't agree to all her section 7 expenses, because he said to wait on the dual citizenship until my SS was 18 and because he questioned why his son was enrolled in catholic school without him knowing. In the application she states that my stepson is thriving.
She has changed the focus in her brief. The new focus is me and I'm wondering what approach we should take if any. She submitted no evidence with her application and did not file a reply. The brief however has easily 100 pages of documents attached. She's now claiming her son suffers anxiety when coming here because of me and my parenting skills, she claims that I am the reason communication between them doesn't work (he had a restraining order against her long before he even met me), she has spent countless hours researching me online and found a tweet from January 2012 where I said our exes were being a pain in the ass, she's claiming I'm unfit to be around children. None of this was raised in the application and we aren't sure how to or if to reply to it or what, if any, action to take at court.
I can get a letter from CAS stating that I have been an exemplary foster parent for over 10 years to my nephew and that I have been a strong child advocate but is there any point in this? Will the judge allow this trashing of me when I won't even be able to defend myself? Do we just ignore it?
Any advice at all would be greatly appreciated.
