Re: family law custody and access to child

It is quite possible that she just threatened and did not actually file a court action; your son should search the court registry to see if she actually did file. Filing does not accomplish very much if she does not serve the documents; she certainly can't obtain an Order without serving your son. He should consult a lawyer immediately; he can get an inexpensive first consultation by calling the referral service of the Canadian Bar Association, found in the yellow pages under "lawyers".
