Hi, I am new to this forum but have found the information I have read so helpful and also comforting.
Okay, here is my situation. My Ex (never married or common law) and I live in different cities ( I live in Toronto and she lives in Ottawa with our son). Our son is 19 months old. She is the one who broke off the relationship and at the time I was living with them in Ottawa. I also lost my job at that time and was forced to stay on friends couches for quite a while.
I secured a new job in Toronto and tried to start over there. Access has never been a problem as long as I am the one doing all the travelling (which is costly and tiring).
We both currently have lawyers now and I am requesting she meet me halfway between Ottawa and Toronto once a month so I can spend some time with my son at my home. Until now I have had to pay for hotel rooms in ottawa and the cost of getting there all on my own while also paying high child support.
She has let me have my son for 2 weeks last summer and a couple of other times in Toronto. Difference is I have met someone else and started dating. She no longer will grant access in Toronto.
What are my chances (judge decision) of having her meet me halfway once a month (2 hour drive for her, 2 hours for me) and then trying to get 4 to 5 weeks accesss during the summer, 1 week xmas, easter, fathers day, thanksgiving etc etc.
She is saying my son is too young to travel, meanwhile she has taken him to Asia for a month last year and has let me have him in Toronto in the past for 2 weeks.
The big difference is the new woman in my life.
