I decided to go back through my case and begin building a case for the trial(should it happen) and i just realized.
Thinking about trial already? I can't wait to see your youtube video for the mockumentary on "mens issues" in divorce.
Does the application require an affidavit other then the custody/access one?
An Application is just that... An application. If your application has a request for custody and access you have to file a Form 35.1 in accordance with Rule 35.1 of the CLRA. So if you are applying to court for custody and access you have to fill out a Form 35.1 and file it into the continuing record.
You will then have to go to a case conference, unless you have brought forward an "urgent" matter which can be heard prior to a case conference.
Otherwise you will go to a CC. If matters are litigious and high conflict a judge at a CC could order you to a motion to resolve the substantive issue.
If there is an opportunity to settle off to a Settlement Conference you will go.
It generally takes 2 years to see a trial in a matter. Unless one (or both parties) demonstrate complete lunacy in their allegations (say someone starts projecting OACP jargon and weirdness) then you will find yourself on the "fast track" to the trial list.
Sittings for trials are very hard to get so if you want to get to trial really fast. I highly recommend a "freeman on the land" position to get there. Another really fast way to get a trial is to tell the judge what to do, that they are only a judge over rivers and the shore or something like that. Or try to tell the judge what the law states etc... They really love to fast track those people to the trial list and I am quite sure Kirk from the Globe and Mail will be sure to show up.
Does the reply require an affidavit??
No. Application and reply are not affirmations to the truth.
Can an affidavit be made that would summarize the total list of events and be used for my case in general form?
An affidavit is filed generally for use as evidence in a motion (for temporary relief). Make sure that when you are reading stuff randomly on the internet that you don't read the US family law stuff. Some states let you file affidavits (depositions) till your head explodes. Such is not the case in Family Law matters in Ontario.
Something im just pondering, some insight is always appreciated.
YOu should go out and buy "Tug of War" written by the Honourable Mr. Justice Brownstone. Every Chapters in our country typically has 10 copies in stock.
Good Luck!
