So things are moving along at a snails pace..and we've found out that my husbands ex wife has been dropped by her lawyer, apparently for non-payment ( she's getting legal aid ).
We're still waiting for most of her documentation ( medical records, and proof of her expenses ), and we are waiting for hear from the OCL...the first time we heard back very quickly from OCL that they declined to get involved as the ex didn't send in her intake form. This time she was ordered to give her intake form to the magistrate who sent both ours and hers in to the OCL.
In the meantime their child got suspended from school a week ago this past friday for instigating fights, and missed another 3 days of school ( not related to the suspension, she said she had errands to bring and couldn't send him o school??) brining the total up around 20 days absent so far this year.
When we talked to our lawyer after receiving a portion of the ex's medical records which clearly stated that her prognosis isn't good as she refuses to comply with her treatment plans ( she has diabetes which she refuses to manage and landed her in hospital for 10 days the latest time and then leaving against medical advise, all the while leaving her son with a neighbour, and of course not telling us anything about it ).
When we talked to our lawyer about the lastest findings about his school absences we asked if we couldn't just apply for interim custody, surely with all the information we have we could get interim custody...but our lawyer is off the opinion we need to wait til all the evidence is in before we pursue matters.
We wholeheartedly believe their son is much better off with us here, but he says he doesn't want to live with us and if he is made to he will run away..( he is 12 yrs old) he has also said that he wants to spend as much time with his mom as possible because she is sick.
I don't know what to do anymore. Do we force him to come live with us when he doesn't want to, and if so how the heck do we make that happen when the courts move so slow, and now she doesn't even have a lawyer anymore which I'm sure is going to slow things down even further.
Sorry for the rambling I'm just so frustrated with this whole thing, by the time we get all this sorted out he'll probably be an adult and all of this will be for nothing
Any pearls of wisdom out there? Anything we can do??
