Help have to go to court on Tuesday I am representing myself and have a Mckenzie friend helping me. My Ex wants joint custody. He has also served me with a C1A and I have also filed a C1A regarding his treatment to our child and served one with the court,. It asked any relevant orders to be attached so I put a copy of a non molestation order I had taken out on him and the full custody order given to me in Italy after a year there being "returned" for wrongfully removing our child from Italy. The Italian custody order cites the reason for me being granted full custody was because of the selfish and narcissistic behaviour of my ex and his unnatural relationship with his child.
Now I have had a long and bullying letter from his lawyer telling me I have to ask permission before I can file an order to the court. I don't understand as the C1A they sent me plus the bundle they sent to me both had a precious High court Hague convention order attached to it.
My Mckenzie friend has told me that now I look amatuerish (hell yes but I am!) That I should not have mentioned the past even my order in my favour as we did not want to stir up the Hague convention and this could turn against me and I could loose the case on this!!!!
Whats more he said now the other side could object to me having a Mckenzie friend just to get me on my own.
I only tried to do my best on the very limited information that is available to me. My first hearing is on Tuesday and needless to say I dont feel very confident...especially now!
