ok. so a few things... Get a liitle bit better at the rebuttal... I'm gonna tell the children blah blah blah... Response....
Dear nutter,
You communicated that you intend to tell the children about the fact that I'm applying to Relationships Australia for mediation. I don't thing that is appropriate. however, can you please confirm that you'll be telling the children that the reasons I'm applying for mediation and failing that court, is because you have denied the children the right to have a meaningful relationship with me? Please be aware that in the event that you continue to deny the children the right to a meaningful relationship with me I will apply to court and I will be informing the children when they are old enough to understand that I tried to find opportunities to compromise with you however you refused to agree to any reasonable proposals.
ALWAYS IN WRITING. You never get to finish a sentence when you're talking to her... So put it in writing. and pick your battles. So the other obvious argument is IF the kids get to ''choose" then why not let them choose to come and stay with dad for a bit. OR what if they want to stay and not return... BUT that is not a good jar of worms to open... Pick your battles.
Now as for court.... I go the other way. Get the paperwork sorted. File it yourself. MAYBE spend $ on solicitors IF need be. Basically, bring out the big guns at the end of the fight, not the start. WHY well the end of the fight is the time to bring out the big guns.... AND maybe.... just maybe. If she sees you're self representing SHE might do the same. But you guys have an advantage or two... You're not nutters for a start - nutters seem to think they can tell the judge... you don't tell them, you ask them.... And you have this site to help you.
