Hi everyone, I am new here but a friend told me about this forum. A little bit about me. I have a son. I have full custody of my son. His father has not been in his life since he was little. He was abusive. Has anger issues. Got restraining order against him, he breached it and then the whole yada yada yada peace bonds etc, supervised access..: fast forward 16 years and here we are.
My son is in high school. Doesn't have much of a relationship with father but occasionally speaks on the phone. Father has had access to him on final court orders which are quite old (mid-2000s) but did not exercise that right: moved away from where we live to another province . Got married had three kids whom my son hasn't met. Paid child support on time. Had a few bumps which were solved by enforcement by FRO by taking aaway his Drivers licence and flagging credit.
I had filed another application to change child support, access, OCL etc and since he didn't care about my son, I had my own health scares ( cancer survivor) ... The court dates kept adjourning and till date nothing has happened to that application. Our next date is scheduled sometime in October this year which will be the lat one if we don't settle or attend that court date. So much has changed and that is what I need help with.
Last year in October father out of no where wanted to meet son and sent a ticket for him to fly him to his place. Son went for two weeks and met his step siblings for the first time and came home happy. After that they stayed in touch on phone , only to find out that father had decided to pack up and leave canada to work in a foreign country. This crushed my son but now he is ok
I found out that for the past two years father was self employed here and was in the oil business in Alberta. Did not provide me any financial disclosure of that. Now he moves for a new job and doesn't provide me that disclosure. Every year we exchange tax returns and adjust child support .
I asked him to provide me details about his business and he said he has winded up the business and during the move his papers are lost. I asked him to provide me the contract with his employer because I have read that the package is great and it's all savings over there except for buying food. He says he lost it. I ask him to gt it from employer . Then he send me an email saying on his own calculation child support would be no more than $2600 and that he will start paying it if I will stop demanding financial disclosure. I said I need the disclosure.
This was back in April. We have been going back and forth but he keeps asking for more time . Sometimes his employer is on holiday. Or he is not there and internet is not bail able etc. I am now thinking of moving ahead with a motion. Here are my questions:
1) First what do I do with the old application cause that needs to be changed? Or start a new application for this matter / new change?
2) should I just file a motion that he has left the country and I need the financial disclosure to adjust child support. And to temporarily set it to 2600 as the father himself has calculated it to be 2600?
3) access to be removed from court order so that I can easily cross the border without fathers consent and maintain passport without his consent
What else can be added when the other parent is gone?
I know it's long to read but I really need good advise on how to go about this. Thankyou
