Hi my name is ***** ***** I will be your Just Answer expert today. Is your question how to obtain financial/legal aid?

Customer

I obtained legal aid i am approved but i am going through legal abuse from my ex husband and his lawyer is going through more “files” .So i am expecting much worse legal abuse coming my way.I just asked legal aid for a list of lawyers.I want to know if there is any hope for me to secure my parenting position and access to my son and if i have no money from financial abuse; how is it i get threatened to pay for all his legal expenses .

ARLENEP41, Expert

What is your parenting position?

If you don't have any money that would not stop counsel from seeking costs on a motion or other items.

Customer

I was with my son full time but i needed support and my ex has joint custody so i am forced into a part time visitation schedule of his design.

Customer

I had no support otherwise

ARLENEP41, Expert

I see. So currently there is joint custody but the child lives with the father? I'm assuming you want your child to live with you?

Customer

The child lives with me i was the main house i want to fight for that i am the main house

Customer

But the father wants control

ARLENEP41, Expert

I'm confused when you say the child lives with you but you have part time visitation. However, typically there is a presumption of joint custody unless you can show that the father is e.g. unfit somehow. What do you mean when you say the father wants control? Does that mean he wants sole custody or he is fighting your suggestions for visitation?

Customer

I ran to a woman’s shelter feb 9 and my son has been with me throughout. The father abandoned us by changing the locks on our condo i legally had my name on . I got an apartment and I offered voice face time calls because i had my ex husband take my son from me while i wan on maternity leave. The excuse than was my erratic driving. This is all part of narcissistic malignant coercive abuse from my ex and his parents. I ran to save my son from a toxic family cult. My son is too young to go without a father but because of my trust issues i did not want overnight visitation with the father and I did not want my ex to be picking up and dropping Darieus off at school. But the father gets what he wants because he has a lawyer to threaten me and i have nothing.

Customer

My ex and his mother condition those around them to be their supply a cheer team to isolate those who do not display obedience to the family unit.

Customer

I mean isolated and like me i am disobedient so therefore i am an outsider who needs to be erased from society or at least abused (smear campaign against me)

Customer

My son is young and knows no different now but i had seen this done before. Conditions and brainwashing my son against me split our bond. Just like it was done to me by my ex and his family. It’s horrific and cruel.

ARLENEP41, Expert

I'm sorry that you had to run to a shelter that must have been a very traumatic experience. Would you be interested in shared custody where the child lives with you sometimes and the father sometimes? I know you don't want the child to have overnights because of trust issues but if you don't have a viable reason to stop the father from having overnights ie. he has a drug problems or he's abusive to the child, you will be unsuccessful trying to prevent the father from having overnights.

Customer

We are doing what the father asks aside from being psychologically abusive exactly no physical abuse to prove he is unfit.

Customer

I just get a surprise every week the father takes more and more control every week via legal abuse. I do want to lose anymore than I already had

Customer

My poor son has a functioning mother who loves him and understands him unconditionally.

Customer

I want justice not revenge

ARLENEP41, Expert

I read the letter from the lawyer and it sounds reasonable unless your saying the father is psychologically abusive to the child. If that's the case you should advise the lawyer that is your position and file a motion. This will be done by your legal aid lawyer when you get one.

Customer

I am waiting for a lawyer to take me on then yes I will be filling a motion because it is a cult and my ex and his mother groom children to be their emotional puppets. Thank you for your patience

Customer

My concern is my ex will dispose of assets,money, and take custody get a divorce done all before i get a lawyer. If that does happen could I still legally fight for my son keeping in mind my ex and his family pooling all their money into the most top of top lawyers

ARLENEP41, Expert

It shouldn't take more than a couple of weeks to get a lawyer and your ex will not be able to accomplish those things before you obtain counsel.

Absolutely you can still fight for your son. This booklet published by the province might help you understand your rights better.

Customer

Thank you yes i need to just be patient my words need to be documented and shared. No one has the courage to speak up in this ex family with my ex husband. My son has autism he has no voice. I am screaming for him.

Customer

Thank you again from the bottom of my heart

ARLENEP41, Expert

I see. You keep screaming for him it doesn't sound like he has anyone else.

Your very welcome and thank you again for trusting Just Answer with your question. If you have any additional concerns or need me to clarify anything please let me know. I'm happy to help.

Customer

Customer
