Is there a way to extend the time (like 3-4 more days) given to respond to a Notice of Motion/Affidavit being English second language and not familar with writing and filing the papers. Who do I ask for extension, the other partys lawyer? Thanks.

Thank you, that makes sense.

Can I ask in my Affidavit for something I want to have changed in regards to the existing court order or must I respond only to what is stated in the other partys NoM/Affidavit?  Like: in the current order child is restrained not to move out of the province. The child and I are German citizen with childs grandparents/extented family in Germany. When I ask the NCP for permission to visit my parents/extented family in Gemany he denied.  

Thanks.

Hello,
I received a Notice of Motion/Affidavit to variy the existing court order in regards to custody/guardianship, access and restraining to move out of the part of the city, Costs and further relief. I have no idea of Canadiann Court proceedings and my english is rather on the tourist level than understanding english law phrases. I can not afford a lawyer and legal aid was denied due to govern. cut backs. I went to duty councel at court but they just gave me the forms and no advice. I have to defend myself and the child.  My questions:

1. After I filled the papers do I have to go to any Notary Public to stamp the copies and swear? Or does that take place in the other partys lawyers office?
2. whom do I serve the Response (I deliver them myself) to the other partys lawyer or in at Supreme Court registry?
3. Do I attach all evidence like original photos as Exhibit?
4. What does this mean? "A declaration pursuant to Section 57 of the Family Relations act R.S.B.C. 1996, Chapter 128 and amendments thereto that the Plaintiff and Defendant have no reasonable prospect of reconciliation with each other"
5. What is the difference between reasonable and generous access and liberal and generous access?

I am totally lost. Have 3 days to get this sorted. This takes place in Canada but I think there isn't much difference in the US.
Hope you can help. Thanks so much.

This case is in Canada. I have received a Notice of Motion and Affidavit in regards to custody/guardianship, release of third party reports, restraining to move out of the part of the city and access filed in Supreme Court.
I legally separated in 2001, reconciled short time after and finally separated in 2003 (financed by Legal Aid as I had no income or support at all). I have sole interim custody and sole interim guardianship and receive spousal and child maintenance.  NCP has reasonable and generous access.
I am low income (spousal/child support) but do not qualify for Legal Aid (has been denied on Friday) due to their cut backs in services. I found a self-help kit provided online at //www.familylaw.lss.bc.ca but have a hard time to understand anything. English is my second language and I rather communicate like a tourist (well maybe a little better). Problem: due date is 8 days within receiving the Notice of Motion, that means I have to respond and file by Wednesday this week. Is there a way to extend this time due to hardship (not having an advocate and no interpreter).   How do I write these papers not exactly understanding what they want?  Do I have to write anything to the Defandents lawyer? Do I bring these to the Supreme Court and swear there? I have no idea about the Canadian court proceedings or english law talk.
I feel totally lost. What do I need to do? Can anyone help?  Any ideas welcome.  Thanks!
