Hello all - my first post so would appreciate some help prior to an upcoming trial for final orders.
Background:
I am self-represented due to a meagre income and my ex is going for full custody of children for our two girls aged 3 and 5. She has a large legal team and has delayed this getting to family court for approx 3 years now. We have a trial next month in the family court where she is the applicant and she is pushing for supervised access for only a few hours per month.
I reside in Darwin and supervised access is exceptionally difficult. I am pushing for weekend access on the basis there has never been any violence or abuse.
That is the background and below is my question...
My wife has introduced vast amounts of information, including character assassinations, printed emails that do not match my copies and a host of other information.
Do I need to call her out on all of this information when it is my turn to question or do I need to question her only on the documents and spoken words that she puts forward while sworn in at the trial?
In short, are all of the affidavits considered "introduced evidence" and need to be questioned or do I just concentrate on what she says on the stand while sworn in?
Thanks
