Keep all your messages for proof, this will show you have been trying to do communicate and work out the arrangements.

I would definitely put everything in your affidavit. I personally believe the Judge will agree with, what is not working out for you and your child to spend quality time together.

If things need to be changed for you and your child to be spend quality time together, I can’t see why this would be rejected.

Don’t forget anything to put in the affidavit and keep your messages.

Thank you heaps for your reply. Do I include a letter from my boss stating I need to work every 2nd weekend, as she will be claiming she 'has' to work...

How could I get around this...

I have heaps of text messages which I will include...

The judge may know the mother doesn’t work from previous court appearances.

You mentioned Facebook posts, keep them as proof.

If she does say she works ask for evidence of this.

You have thought of everything she may say, so it’s all good.

You don’t need to get around anything, you will have the proof from your boss, I would demand to see her proof also.

ok thank you for your time ... i will work on this this weekend and send to lawyer
All good.

You are on track, I suggest you go over the next draft after your solicitor makes changes to the one you have now.

If you can print out the txt messages that would be useful, your solicitor can add this to your affidavit, Annexed 1,2, etc, that way they won’t be dismissed at court.

Add bosses letter in the affidavit also, what you want to use for evidence needs to be in your affidavit or the Judge won’t use them as evidence

To get the outcome you want don’t forget anything.

You’ve got this.
If you come across any dramas let me know.

Cheers

can someone please help clarify.

I just received draft applications financial statement and draft affidavit

What is the purpose of the affidavit ?

How is interim orders decided if my ex and I can’t agree ?
I want orders in place as ex keeps changing arrangements on weekly basis. And sometimes does not want to be primary Carer when she throws tantrum.

I’m wanting 5 nights per fortnight
Every Thursday night. And
Thursday to Monday every 2 nd weekend ( so not ex contact as this as proven toxic in the past.
Ex wants to leave as is every Friday to Sunday 2 pm ( when she is home and decides to have the kids )
Put in your affidavit you want to spend quality time with your child and the arrangements in place now does not give your child and yourself to spend quality time together.
You could also mention in the mornings you spend ?hrs, in the afternoon you spend ?hrs.
Your solicitor will know how to word this for you.
I recommend you read the draft/affidavit after your solicitor is finished, if your not happy with it, make changes.
You’ll be fine.
I feel what you are asking shows how committed you are towards your child.
