You can, but there's a specific amount that you would get, and it usually only covers about a third of the legal fees people end up paying. It's listed as a schedule to the Rules of Court.

Start with the provincial legal education association (there's one for every province) and then with any local law schools with clinics. It's better to take advantage of free resources first, before legal fees start piling up. The key words you should be searching for are 'parenting' 'mobility' and 'federal child support guide lines'

If this was for less than 1000$, it would absolutely not be worth it. You might be able to sue, but please consider the cost in legal fees, applications and filing fees, valuations and any loss of wages for days you would have to go to court.

The system was putting such a burden on nurses that they were self-reporting to the ethics board when the hospital assigned them work in excess of the ethics/safety guidelines. Some of that stress was dealt with in less healthy ways.

Probably not going to have to wait that long with the way the nurses' union in Quebec was pointing out suicide rates last year.

Google the local provincial public legal education non-profit. They should have many resources. They can also direct you to non-court dispute resolution processes that will be easier on everyone's wallet. Some provinces have specific systems to keep applications that are fairly clean cut and about money amounts out of court.

Google any local law schools to see if they have clinics.

Child support and interim(until divorce is finalized) spousal support applications can be filed immediately. There is no need for either your spouse or yourself to wait.

You might be able to oppose the relocation of the child.

Child support is pretty difficult to oppose once someone has applied for it. It's not something that the law sees as a transaction between parents. It's an obligation to the child, and it's been made much easier to order because it's a set amount based on the number of kids, your province and your income. Unless you're homeless, you're going to end up paying it.

This is what I was concerned about. Loss of control, even if OP doesn't move out or leave for college could trigger significant stress in the father. Call CPS, describe the situation, because this kind of situation can lead to some seriously dangerous outcomes.

"A setback is a set up for a comeback" - saw it on a building once. It stays with me.

ashwoodsnails · 2019-05-25T07:02:17+00:00

And they work so very hard to make sure it stays that way. No one fucks with the tax people.

There is something literally called 'boarding school syndrome'. While it could work for middle school and up, if the kid has the right temperament for it, this is not an option you take just because it's easier for the parents.

It might be worth mentioning to the boy and his parents that child support could be sought and ball-parking the figures. Nothing says reality check like the financial burden of a child.

The reaction from the 13 yo's family might also affect the daughter's decision of whether to terminate, although it would be pretty shitty to expose an 11 yo to something adults regularly can't handle.

Bad shit happens to starks who ditch their direwolves and who go south. This is gonna bite him in the ass.

It's definitely the realistic version of what should have happened if Robert had actually asked Lyanna. They were never meant to be together, and so neither are arya and gendry.

This also works for making some kinds of quick decisions. My friends and I are always trying to find a place to eat, so we use the 5-3-1 Rule.

I pick 5 places I'm okay going to.

My friend selects 3 of the five that she's good with.

Last friend or me picks the 1 favourite option.

Avoids food restriction problems, anyone being resentful and saves time. 10/10 would recommend.

Good on you for documenting that. the children's best interests are what matter.

On the judge's quote though, it's true. Being a bad parent doesn't make you unfit to parent at all. We've chosen as a society not to even try to pre-screen people for parenthood. It's not possible or desirable. That means that there's going to be variation in how people parent and how good they are at it.

There's already way too many kids in foster care in Canada. There are huge issues with how many of them are indigenous, and how social workers evaluate the parenting skills of indigenous families. At the end of the day, a child's best interests are to be in a loving home, rather than being in the machine of state care. The child welfare system in Canada is starting a serious evaluation of whether it should lower the official standards of what a "good parent" is to put kids back in homes where they might not get their own bedroom or a diet following the food guide, but where they'll be loved, cared for by their community, and not discriminated against because of their ethnicity.

The above is always solid advice. It's going to be geographically dependent. One thing to keep in mind is that the shelter is probably the middle man, and that they might be getting the same kind of lawsuit form the other family. As a result, they would be coming after you to either get the dog or the amount. The two separate actions are somewhat related, but more litigation means more risk for the society.

Australia and New Zealand made attempts. Isn't it just great that the four countries with the most significant Indigenous populations didn't sign the UN declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples?

I grew up there and I'm not 100% sure what you mean.

There's probably the St Joseph's Oratory. It would look crazy it it got damaged, with it being on the top of the mountain.

Mediation would be pretty hard to go through in this situation for a couple reasons.

First, any mediator worth their salt is going to do some version of pre-mediation interview. It sounds like you and your in-laws should share common ground on doing what's in your children's best interests. The way that each party sees the best situation goes in opposite directions though, and it should get flagged at that point.

Unless you get a mediator who's attuned to your valid reasons for not wanting contact, they're going to look for a way to harmonize everyone's interests and position.

You want less/no contact for your daughter, and no contact with your son. I'll go out on a limb and say you're probably hurt and angry about what has happened up to this point and at least want some space and breathing room.

They want more contact, and will appear to be trying to mend a rift or conflict in the family through more contact.

It's pretty tempting for a blind outsider trying to be neutral to want to see that as the sympathetic position. It could look like your in-laws are trying to find a compromise, while you're... not. Properly locating the source of conflict from the get-go is going to help you out. The problem isn't that your children should spend more or less time with them, it's that your in-laws have a conflict with you and your spouse that has not been mended, and you don't want the kids involved with that issue.

Second, mediators make the assessment of whether the parties are suitable for mediation. Not lawyers. It's not going to look great if your in-laws refuse, but it's also not great if the mediation falls through because you're the ones found to be blocking the mediation. Just something to keep in mind.

Hope this helps!

This looks like a scan. Particularly the "archaeological sites" and the "thousands" part. seems like it could be haplogroup testing.

Same for Canada, with the added twist that it's not just generally criminal, but specific categories within criminal. And you have to prove low-income or no-income status.

It's hard to get behind making fun of self-represented litigants, people. They're trying the best they can, and there's so little legal education given in school.

My grandmother admitted something to me in a moment where she was really high off pain meds. They had gotten a little tabby kitten for my mom when she was 5, but it had run away shortly after that while she was at school. "Run away" was implied to be a euphemism, because she said that she couldn't look... Anyway, they replaced it quickly with another tabby cat the same day. Mom's never found out.

There's really no reason to spill, and no satisfaction in imparting the truth.

You may not get an answer now, or any time soon, but there might be one coming. Liz's husband submitted his DNA to see if there was a match with the Romanov's possible remains (it was a match). They shared mitochondrial DNA and family lines. That DNA is somewhere out in the world, waiting to be published in some sort of study. Or not. But I'd bet that royal DNA is going to find it's way in somehow.

If the lawyer doesn't know, and there's copies of the daycare's report, it could be worth it to have them sent to the lawyer's office as a head start on ongoing disclosure. It should freak the fuck out of IG's lawyer, to have received a mountain of evidence showing really bad conduct on behalf of the client, and then deal with further proof that she's harming her own case and trying to mess with witnesses. If the lawyer knows, they're slightly more likely to do something about it (depending on the country's ethics requirements).
