hi! if anyone has any experience/advice/knowledge, I'd really really appreciate it.
the situation is this...
my husband and 2 stepchildren became PRs in January 2015. in our application we submitted the necessary notarized forms from the children's mother stating the children could move to Canada, & that she knew she may never see them again. she didn't object partly because she and my husband agreed they would let the kids decide where they wanted to live (she also just couldn't be bothered to try too hard). the kids chose Canada. my husband and his ex share joint custody legally, but agreed to something closer to a 60/40 split after the big move, as that's all a school schedule will really allow. side note: she's a terrible mother. emotionally abusive. absent. my husband has been what is technically viewed as the primary caregiver in all ways to the kids since they were born...
today we received two separate court summons from his ex. one asking for more child support because travelling to see the kids every other weekend is too expensive for her. (we meet her half way and gas in Canada is more $ for us. ) the other document was requesting full custody of JUST the younger child - age 11. the other is 15, but she's made it clear she doesn't want him because she doesn't like him. she's called him a "lost child" to her. whatever that means. like i said "lovely" mother.
i have a million questions. like can we use a Ontario family lawyer to deal with this even though it was filed through a NY state court? can we counter sue? can we request a continuance as the first court date is for may 14 & we just got the papers today - issued april 20? can we bring this to an Ontario court as this is where we all live except his ex? does that notarized form mean nothing - she let them leave? what are our options? please enlighten me if you can.
thanks!
