UPDATE:

Well court did not go as well as planned. It was put over until Jan 20th. I did manage a few things in court.

• Court will never be exceeding the 30 day adjournment rule as the CAS lawyer made it clear that he knew about section 51 and that I was going to enforce this at every date.
• CAS lawyer has agreed my wife and I have a vested interest in the case and that we wish to put forth our own plan of care for the child.
• Our motions were put over until that date to allow the mother of the child time to respond to them.
• I spoke with the CAS lawyer privately one on one and discussed the issues between myself and the CAS and the current issues. CAS stated their only issue with us having kinship is my flat out refusal to co-operate with the society which of course we know how well that went for them with me.
• It was made clear that at no time would they be getting any contact with my 2 children to interview them with regards to the kinship as they are not old enough to comprehend and they are not using this as a back door to gain access to them where they could not do so before.

I can not discuss more then this as it is now in court and I don't want to give my case away or violate 45(8) of the CFSA. thus far this post does not violate any laws or rules and there is nothing they can do about it.

I will update again after the next court date.
