Hi all,
my stbx took the kids from Ottawa and moved to Toronto. I have been driving every second weekend to pick the kids up Sat morning, have them stay with me at my mother's home in St. Catharines, then drive them back to Toronto Sunday evening, then I am back to Ottawa for work Monday morning. I have been doing this since Oct last year, without fail.
I have not sought relief on this arrangement as the OCL is currently involved and I am awaiting their involvement's conclusion.
All this said, my mom is old, and needs to sell her home to pay for a care facility. So I now have no place to take the kids during access.
The way I see it, my options are as follows:
1. Stay in a hotel with the kids for the access. There are 4 children and myself. so that's 2 hotel rooms.
2. Stay in a B&B with two rooms.
3. Rent an apartment, only using it on weekends.
4. Shoot myself in the head, joke
The closest friends I have that we could stay with are London,ON. Plus I don't want to impose on them.
So my questions are:
1. Has anyone else been in this crappy situation ?
2. In light of the sale of my mom's home, is it time to file a motion for relief regarding these access arragements ?
3. If so to question two, what should I ask for, costs ? longer visits ? both ?
4. Is there a community/church/private service for schleps like me, i.e. an overnight access center in the Toronto area where me and my children can stay safely and affordably ?
As always thanks to all
