My visit to Family court with flyers!

So I went to my local Family court house to hand out flyers to advertise for My Facebook page (SDFF)  
so I brought 65 Flyers and managed to hand out about 40 of them!! the other 15 I taped to the street poles and bus shelters near by and put a few up in a couple of community centers!

When I got to the court house I handed out almost 10 flyers right in the family court house before the asked me to leave, It was a female lawyer real snobby looking and sounding she was representing only moms from what I was later told by some of the dad's I had talked to... But I did not stop there I stayed the whole day!!

My next spot was in the lobby, not this building has all finds of things in it, like service Canada and some other Government places.. So I just stood in the lobby holding up my flyers so that people could see them and asking people if they were there for a family matter! I got a good few hours in this spot! Talked to a bunch of people, Including some Lawyers they applaud what I'm dong! Then I was asked to leave by a security officer that was on patrol, But I did not stop here!!

I stood outside the building and continued to do the same thing! Until about 2pm when the last people have already gone in.

I had many MANY conversations on this day but the memorable one was the 15 year old boy that was there cause his dad was a deadbeat.. I gave him a flyer anyways and told him that if he ever feels like he need some fatherly advice that he could always come to my page , and told him that there are many great fathers on this page that will always be glad to hand down some advice!! I have not seen him yet tho it's been about 2 weeks.

I want to go back again this Tuesday, but I only have 1 day every other week to myself and I have ALOT of things I need to be doing right now with my own court case so I'm not sure if I will be able to....

Thanks for reading!

Problem with legal aid.....

Hello everyone:

Today I received an Email from my lawyer saying I have been cut off legal aid because" you have failed in an obligation to legal aid".....

  Now 2 years ago when all this first stared Legal aid had told me that I have to pay $50 a month to them, because of my income, Then I showed them my pay stubs and my child support payments, and they said I didn't have to pay anything, then in January 2011, they started taking $50 a month right out of my bank account without my permission, and I didn't even notice until February 2012.....
  So when I finally realize why I am falling short every month I ask my bank who the hell is OLA and why the hell are you letting them take money outta my account, my bank admitted to me on the phone that they didn't know who they were and that they can't find anything saying they should be taking money out of my account, and they gave me back 2 months = to $100 and refused me the rest ... so needless to say I left TD Canada trust and will never go back..

  So Legal aid sends me a notice at the beginning of march and I finally figure out who OLA is..... I called them and asked them why they were even taking money out of my account, they did not have my permission, I was told I didn't have to pay because of my child support, they then tell me this is something I must reapply for every 6 months.....
  Well nobody told me this, and it's not in any of my paper work ( I keep ALL of it ), I didn't even get any kind of notification of any kind...... So I re apply and they want proof of my pay stubs, well the next day I get a call from my surgeon telling me if I want to go in early for  the surgery I needed   that I had about 40 hours to prepare.... so needless to say I didn't get my pay stubs faxed to legal aid..
  So 2 weeks later when I was able to get out of bed and walk around a little bit I saw the paper and remembered... OH SHIT... so I call them right away and let them know what had happened, surprisingly they actually understood, and asked when I cold get it in, I told them I need to find a ride to a fax machine as I am still unable to walk that far, and said 2-3 days tops. they said ok and gave me 1 week. I did it the next day,

So 2-3 more weeks go by and..... welcome to today..... So I have called them back to see why I was cut off, and they tell me that I did not send them any of the information they had asked me for..... That's Bul and I have the receipt to prove it!!  now because they screwed up and lost my paperwork I have to re-fax all these pay stubs (going to cost me another $15) and the receipt from the first time ( not so they can pay me back... so they know I'm not lying.....)...  and on top of this all my lawyer can't do any work for me until this is all fixed, and she was just in the process of making our next court date for summer access and full weekend visits.... so now by the time we get back into court the summer will have come and gone, and I am so pissed, but I all I can do is sit here and smile........

I really am not sure how much more of this I can take... It may seem like a small thing to some people but to me.      This is my world.

The battle wound visit...

Hello again:

So on my visit this week, Matilda came over to my new place for the first time!! She love's that I have a backyard right outside my living room! she ran around for hours out there until it started to rain, she took a fall at one point and scraped her elbow pretty good, but it didn't even phase her! I didn't know about the scrape until I went to put the PJ'S on, now is all I have is Bactien (80% iodine) obviously I couldn't use this to clean it, so I made Saleem!! this is 4 cups of water and a teaspoon of salt, bring to boil and let boil for 10 minutes! (let it cool down before using this on skin) but this is also a great disinfectant for your child's dishes and crazy straws! I also had a friend over with his 1 year old boy, and they were running around like crazy, they ran into each other and Matilda busted her lip on his head... she cried for a minute until I gave her a Popsicle, then she was fine, but has a nice sized cut on her lip, What a trooper she is!!

Commencing the court process

Commencing the court process
 

The court process in a family law case commences when either you or your spouse brings

an Application which sets the issues you want the court to determine and the orders you

are asking the judge to make. If you’re commencing the Application, you’re called the “Applicant.” Your spouse is called the “Respondent.”

If you’re married, in most cases you’ll be bringing a “General Application for Divorce,”

meaning you’re seeking a divorce and asking the court to resolve certain issues between

you and your spouse. If you and your spouse agree to divorce, and if there are no issues remaining to be determined such as child and spousal support and custody, then you can

bring a “Simple Application for an Uncontested Divorce.”

You can also commence a “General Application” if you were married and aren’t 

seeking a divorce, but are asking the court to resolve certain issues between you and

our spouse or if you were living in a common law relationship and are asking the court to resolve certain issues between you and your common law spouse. Furthermore, you can

commence a “General Application” if you have a child with someone, but never lived

together.

If you’re claiming support for your children and/or yourself, and/or if you’re claiming 

an interest in property and/or exclusive possession of the matrimonial home, you’ll need to

complete and attach a “Financial Statement” to your Application.

You generally bring your Application in the municipality where you live or, in a 

custody and access case, in the municipality where your children live. You’ll need to 

take your Application to the court office in this municipality to be issued. The court 

will issue you a court file number for your case. There’s a fee for filing your 

Application. 

After your spouse has been served, the person who served him or her must 

complete an “Affidavit of Service” documenting the fact that they served the 

Application and how. This Affidavit must later be filed with the Application in 

the court’s copy of the Continuing Record.

Your spouse will then typically have 30 days from the date he or she was served to

respond to your Application by preparing and serving on you an “Answer.”

As the Applicant, you have the opportunity to Reply to your spouse’s Answer. 

This is only if the Answer raises new issues that weren’t addressed in your 

Application. The time period for serving and filing your Reply is typically 

10 days from the date you were served .

Good luck!  It WILL NOT BE EASY but don't give up! I did it, YOU CAN TO
