Hello,
I am not clear about if I can get divorced or not.
I separated in 2001, got order with sole custody/guardianship for child of the marriage, reconciliated after 3 month and separated finally in 2003 with order which says order of 2001 is still in effect plus arrangements for spousal/child maintenance. 2006 consent order with more details on access for NCP. When can I get divorced? I can not afford a lawyer so I am using the selfhelp kits. I am in Canada BC. On the Supreme Court website they state there are two types of divorce 1. Joint action 2. Sole Action, where sole action splits in Undefended and Defended Divorce. It will be a sole action but which one fits to my case - undefended or defended? The consent order from 2006 is for review on May 1, 2006 which for sure will continue with further action from the other party (I believe). Can the divorce be done without going into detail with child issues. Or does it mean as long as there issues going back and forth I can not get divorced?
Thanks for your time.

Is it ok that my Ex drives our 4yr. old in his junky work truck without carseat/booster?  I was the opinion it is law to have this safety meassurement until child reaches certain age/height/weight - am I wrong? Thanks.

Hi:
can my Ex  put a stop or note on our childs foreign passport which is in my possession? If so, is my signature not required as I am the one with legal custody and legal guardianship? Thanks for any advise.

Just found a written note this morning from my Ex left at my car. He wants to take our son (4yrs) to my sister-in-law for New Years Eve - tonight.  It is always an exessive drinking party there and the communication is at low level. My brother-in-law (drug addict) is living in their household too. I don't like to see our child in this surounding as I think it is not in the childs best interest. I also don't like the fact about the short notices my Ex plans and controls my days and evenings all the time. Visitation is 'reasonable and generous'. What would you do?
Thank you and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hello everybody!
Can someone explain what is 'reasonable and generous' visitation. I am legally separated with sole custody and sole guardianship, one child age 4yrs.  My attorney did not respect my wish for a clear definition of visitation schedule. Said it would be better to have it that way, which causes pretty much trouble for us as the father of the child (with physical and mental abusive history) is knocking at the door all the time and interupting our childs and my routine.  How much would you consider as reasonable and generous?
Thanks for sharing your ideas.
