After 6 months of filing I finally got my ex's Response (Form 10: Answer) and I am devastated at the allegations. According to my ex, I am a DV Abuser, who is volatile, violence, psychotic and have a undiagnosed mental illness for our entire 6 year relationship. And he is the Hero for walking away to spare the children. Truth is he left for another women, but that doesnt factor into anything anyway.
I feel like I just got hit by a Mack Truck. I feel if I was a Judge reading this, I would remove the children immediately and lock me up either in jail or a phyc ward. Our children both have special needs, they both have active social workers/mandatory reporters in their lives why has this Monster Mom (me), not been reported before? But clearly have been accused in an Affidavit for Family Court. Shouldn't these affidavits be mandatory reported to both Police and CAS for investigation as soon as there are filed in family court? Are Lawyers Mandatory Reporters? Shouldn't his lawyer have some legal responsibility to report me?
I can only hope that our case never ends up on Canlii for our children to read. I dont understand how a parent could be so cruel and make up allegations against the other for no reason. We are NOT in a custody or access battle. Our disagreement is over CS and Daycare costs. There is no need imo, to make one parent better or worse than the other.
I think its such travesty, in Family Law that you can just swear an affidavit and make such allegations in something so serious as DV that it becomes routine for litigants. Its minimizing the true victims of DV.
I am become quite jaded re the Family Court System, that you can just throw out such a serious allegations without anything to back it up. My only crimes in my life has been parking tickets, not even a speeding ticket, let alone a charge or even an allegation for violence until now.
What happens to the Fathers/Mothers that have been true victims of DV? And why do lawyers (he is with a prestige firm) allow these allegations with no proof or at the very least an investigation?
Maybe playing nice doesnt work in Family Court? Maybe I need to grow a bigger backbone? Or find a lawyer that can sling the mud back? My lawyer is a small independent lawyer but reasonable priced, and does not sling mud.
Thanks for listening, my heart goes out to all of you who are brave enough even to post here to help others.
I definitely don't have the stomach for this!
