Hello everyone,
I am once again asking for your advice in my case. We sold our house in July and I now live with my two sons in Brantford, Ont. My husband lives in Milton. He retained a lawyer I did not and cannot afford one. I just received a voicemail msg from his lawyer asking me to call her back with my new address because she wants to arrange for service of Petition for Divorce on me. I did not call her back yet.
My worries are such: Both my sons are full time in school at Mohawk College and local High School. My husband is only paying CS for my younger son. His lawyer sent me a letter back in spring saying that my husband will not pay for my older son because "C... is no longer in school and is supporting himself". My son was in school part time then and also working part-time on the weekends only. Now my son is full time in school and not working. I feel and was given the same advice by some of you here on the forum and by four different lawyers that I should file an application for CS because my husband should pay me. I did not have a chance to do this yet and now worry that if he started divorce proceedings in Milton then I will have to commute to Milton court and for me it would be difficult because I do not drive and taking transit takes approx. 4 hours. Should I then start an application for CS here in Brantford on Monday and respond to his lawyer on Monday later that day, or should I perhaps first write to his lawyer informing her that our older son is now full time in school and not working and as such I request that he pays CS for him? Would such letter be of any effect/importance? I am really stressed today and feel that time is running out on me because I should respond to his lawyer soon otherwise it will sound like I am avoiding service. I asked a lawyer how much it would cost to bring a motion to move the venue from Milton to Brantford and he quoted $2500 which totally paralized me and I am not sure if I could prepare and attend such motion by myself. What do you think? Is is possible to prepare motion documents, serve them and file with the court and attend the motion without a lawyer? Thank you.
