- Currently posted to Ottawa and am due to be posted to Kingston.
- Have Sole custody and Primary residence status of my 8 year old.
- My Ex gave me Sole custody in 2019 for $1000 off of their arrears.
- Ex has only had every other weekend and for the past year, every Wednesday for a few hours. This has occurred since our Son was 3 years old. Prior to that, he had supervised visitations.
- Currently I have a paragraph on my order saying I am not allowed to life outside the City of Ottawa. This was added in 2019. From 2016 to 2019, the clause was I was able to live within the Province of Ontario. It was changed based on claims of future plans from my Ex that has still not occurred.
- Me and my Ex have a very hostile relationship. We have never agreed on anything.
- Ex currently lives in Ottawa, but approximately 30 minutes away.
- Ex has had no job in over a year (living off of lottery winnings which he didn't claim with regards to child support but I don't know if he needs to or not). He lives with his Mother and Brother. My son sleeps in a bunk bed with my Ex.
- I asked my Ex if we could increase the mobility clause to include Kingston. My Ex had been stating they wanted to remove Wednesday access because its hard to work around it. So I offered that and an additional weekend every other month. I also offered to pick up our Son at the end of access if my Ex picks up at the beginning thus sharing the travel.
- My Ex completely shut me down and said no. When I asked what they wanted, they wanted the entirety of the travel costs covered or for me to pick up and drop off during their access.
- I am looking to take this to court because in my mind, I am offering my Ex more time, removing the Wednesday access at their request, doing half the travel (which right now they do all of it as per the current order) and access time remains the exact same.
- I was informed that in March 2021, the new Act will essentially remove mobility restrictions as long as they do not impact the child's relationship with the other parents or access. I do not know how accurate this is tho. However if true, this wouldn't impact at all as literally nothing changes with regards to access and communication. If anything, my Ex gets more time with the additional weekend.
- I have gone through all of the Goertz factors and everyone of them I can clearly articulate in my favor.
- Do I have a Status Quo case with regards to the province of Ontario clause from the previous order?
- I cannot clearly identify any argument my Ex can make to influence a court decision in this matter but I wanted to bounce everything off of members here.
