Yes but you didn't have an affidavit from them telling you they was not going to file did you? Which is why I have the perception I have.

I’m surprised that if the respondent filed an affidavit stating that they would not be filing further materials that they didn’t just file a ‘notice of discontinuance’. You are both self-represented so fear of a costs order would be minimal I’d imagine.

When did they file this affidavit? Did this by chance have anything to do with the judge making such directions?

No the judge made a trial order setting out when affidavits (evidence in chief) has to be filed by, the respondent filed an affidavit by that date stating he would not be filing an affidavit. He has not withdrawn nor filed a discontinuance nor does he intend to do so, I agree it is a strange situation but nonetheless that is the situation.

The final part of a case in the Family Court is called a trial. In the Federal Circuit Court, it’s called a final hearing. Since both courts hear family law matters, you’re both right.

An affidavit informing that he is not filing a trial affidavit is not evidence in chief, and as I clearly stated previously the court ordered that neither of us can rely on previously filed affidavits as our evidence in chief so - yet again - you are wrong, yes you did miss it and as I said it is in the family court. You appear to me to be a "Child need fathers" Activist or some kind of similar group, you are a very bitter man who offers bad advice. I would be real grateful if you would stay away from my posts.

I am a Children needs parents activist, male or female but you have just given us a huge insight into your own mindset with that statement. Sometimes you can get subtle insights into peoples thought patterns without them having to say too much and just by talking about child needs fathers people in such a derogatory way tells us all we need to know about you.

I do not have time to give you a comprehensive reply as to why you are STILL way off the mark this morning but.. watch this space because you will be owned later on today. This is a public forum, you dont get to choose who replies to you and who does not.
