My sons ex gf has filed for permanent sole custody, cs, her lawyers costs and supervised visits at her discretion regarding time, place and duration.
Trying to maintain good relations with all parties, as I have so far, and keep emotion out I am struggling with a few issues. Only one I will address at this time.
Lawyer costs...the mother is on welfare and has not worked a full time job ever. She has no DL and really no desire to work. Her mother has hired a lawyer and now they are asking for costs.
My son is representing himself as this really should be fairly straight forward but what is an appropriate response as to why he shouldn't pay her lawyers costs? Or is there any?
He hasn't been a model dad for the past year and moved out of province, but has since moved back and wants to get his life together. He is still digging himself out of debt and by no means can afford the added expense of her lawyer. Really the mother couldn't never have afforded a lawyer...its coming from her mothers pocket.
Their son is only two.
Any advice on how to respond to the cost matter would be appreciated.
