I am hoping for some tips on how to respond to the ex's affidavit in response to his Motion.
First he did not include form 35.1 or form 13 and I am wondering if he may be exempt?
Next, The Motion is a denunciation of me, complete with a supporting affidavit written by his mom.
He was court ordered to transition from supervised access in a centre, to supervised access in the community and I unfortunately and stupidly agreed to be the supervisor. He would not accept any of my family members, none of his family. Hiring anyone is not feasible financially for either of us.
What happened in reality is very different from what he is claiming. What happened was the access turned out to be more like access to me. He wanted to get back together with me, I refused and it went downhill from there. I didn't even bother to tell my lawyer, mostly because I know that it will boil down to he/said, she said.
We were supposed to be going to family counseling as part of the process which he agreed to and then finally refused sighting his thoughts that the counsellor would be "against him".
I can disprove some of the allegations with written evidence, some I can simply untwist with a simple explanation. However the rest are not based in fact and will be he/said, she said.
My question is: Do I respond to all, there are just so many and my affidavit will turn out to be massive and for the most part centered on me defending myself. (sigh, yet again)
The ex has mentioned our child in terms of how many toys he has waiting for him at home that he is being deprived of because of me....etc..and he talks about how he has been prevented from feeding our child at the access locations, (and, again, apparently my fault), he accused me of bringing the child to the visits "hungry" , therefore making our child cranky and dependant on my care, thus interfering with the ex's access.
He also mentions in his affidavit that I was making-out with my boyfriend at the visits.
How do I respond, I don't want to go down this he/said, she/said road, but I also quite naturally want to defend myself. Question is, do I?
Any advice would be appreciated.
