I currently have been discussing a few things and have a mediation meeting soon. There are only two disagreements that I have with my ex's response to my needs and one of them is that I request that she allows me to put my name on my sons birth certificate. It was then argued that birth certificates are basically used for travelling and not really necessary to put my name on the birth certificate. Should I pursue getting his name on his birth certificate? The only reason I can think of is that this will allow me to restrict where my son can travel. But I am unaware of other benefits to push this.
Second issue is about the parenting time which my ex has stated that because he is in a day home full time I cannot request to have access when he is in it. I have overlooked section 7 of the family law act and there is no legal reasoning behind this. I can only think of the fact that she does not want me to have him on those days because it can be argued that I shouldn't be paying for the time that he is in my care. I have two other questions about child care for separated parents as well. Is there a contract can be signed between day homes and the primary caregiver? Can it be argued that it is a conflict of interest if the mother is allowing my support for child care to a day home that is operated by her relative?
