Did the material come with a court date? Have you filed whatever paperwork needs to be filed to have the jurisdiction retained in Nova Scotia?
As upsetting as these emails or letters are from his lawyer you really have to ignore anything but the dates. Theyre bullying you. Stop letting them do that. Go and read up on what you need to do to keep the jurisdiction in Nova Scotia and/or respond to the actual motion. If they keep sending you emails are they telling you to pay them?
Instead of getting upset and posting here, go and read up on what you can do. You said you spoke to an EAP lawyer, what did they say? Wringing your hands and posting here isnt going to help you. Do something!

As I told you before... all they will do is hear his case on Friday and possibly give him a PROVISIONAL order, as you do not live in the jurisdiction. They will send the material they have on to your jurisdiction. Then the court in your jurisdiction will serve you a notice of either a hearing date or date to submit your response. This is standard interjurisdictional procedure which Alberta Court of Queen's Bench is quite aware of. Something I have done when this happens to me is request the transcripts ($$). Very simple to arrange that and have them sent to you.

I called the Alberta court and the case was adjourned until a later date. There was not a reason given. Does anyone have any thoughts why it would be adjourned? I will likely file an application in my jurisdiction asking for jurisdiction to remain where I live and the other court to make a provisional order.

OK! I had my appointment with the free half hour legal advice. There is nothing I have to file. Hopefully, the Alberta court will do it provisionally. I called and checked again and once again, it is adjourned.
He did get a Stay of Enforcement which is fine. Halifax does not transfer files of completed divorce so I have no worry there.
Does anyone have any idea why it keeps getting adjourned. Where it would be provisional, I do not need to be served I was told by my free half hour legal advice.
Just wondering if anyone might have ideas.

So he got his Order. Basically it is a stay of enforcement and reduction in going forward. My MEPS is beginning to register the Order so that it goes into Court in Halifax.
My questions is, when in Court at the Confirmation Hearing, do I point out his lies? I do not wish this Order to be confirmed but declined/rejected and possibly returned to Calgary for further information.
I do not and will not speak to him and/or his lawyer and have informed them and the Alberta Court of Queen's Bench of such.
Any advice would be appreciated.

You will have 30 days to respond once you are served (the exact date will be on the papers you receive, along with forms you can use to file - you can likely download the same forms if you have to expand on your response). You will serve your ex (regular mail is fine) and file your response in your courthouse (they will ask you to sign an affidavit stating you served your ex).
Don't be surprised if the hearing is by written submission only. This is not unusual. You should be very organized for the hearing and your submission should be well-organized and contain all the information you are relying on. Therefore it is important that you carefully review the documents you are served with.
A "heresay" situation is lame. You should try to corroborate everything you are stating as fact. The Judge in your area will review the information your ex has submitted and your information. If the judge feels additional information is required, or if you request it and judge agrees to your request, the judge will send back request to the other court. This can go back and forth for many months and sometimes many years.
Read the PROVISIONAL Order carefully and point it out to your MEPS if need be: Order only becomes enforceable with approval of your court at your hearing.Last edited by arabian; 08-09-2019, 07:06 PM.
