I am feeling very frustrated today and I need to vent.
As I sit here and write a cheque for $3000 to my lawyer, the cost of my flight to visit my son in three months, I am overwhelmed that the reason why I am writing the cheque is because my ex, who has no legal fees and is funded by legal aid, is fighting with me over something as simple as regular telephone calls to my boy. I can hardly believe that she gets to avail of a free lawyer to do this. Paid for by the government and the tax payers. Unbelieveable.
I am stunned that this is happening. I understand her need of a legal aid lawyer for the regular divorce stuff...but to fight me over the most basic thing such as telephone calls is insane! Her free fight is costing me a fortune...and all I want is to talk to my boy...
I want to write letters to gov officials. I want people in Newfoundland to know what is happening. I want to make sure that they know what their money is paying for. A dad who loves his son...wants to be in his life....and they are paying for the legal fees of a woman who is vindictive and who is jepordizing the emotional well being of a beautiful little boy who misses his father.
I am thinking of contacting social services, perhaps even her social worker, to let them know what is happening. I was also thinking about the Legal Aid commission....and even the Dept of Justice in Newfoundland. Every day that goes by I feel is another day that I didn't stand up for what is right. I feel as though by not doing something...at least trying....I am accepting this. And I cannot accept this...I just can't. It's so, so terribly wrong!
Sorry for the rant....but it really does feel better to vent about this!
Thanks
