TIMELINE
Here are some of the things mentioned in my court documents that has the EX just running. Seems he yelled in the van that these documents would never see a court room.
-since the year 2000, he has constantly been in and out of the children's lives. After we moved back to Canada, that hasn't changed. Mr Ismail does not maintain constant contact with any of the children. In the beginning of 2010, Mr ismail and I agreed that he could come pick up the children every 2nd weekend and keep the children until Sunday evening. After approximately 2 months of having the children for weekends, Mr Ismail started showing up sporadically. Many times, I'd have the children ready and dressed, bags packed and Mr ismail wouldn't show up. I'd call him and he'd offer some excuse and sometimes show up the next day, Sometimes not.
- Mr Ismail insists on belittling me when he has the children. He has told them all that I kidnapped them from Egypt. He insists on calling names when he has the children.....often referring to me as "khanzeera" which means female pig. Because Mr ismail is muslim, calling me that is of the highest level of rudeness and disrespect.
On July 30th, Mr ismail showed up and took the 4 children to his house for the weekend. (he lives in a 1 bedroom apartment with his girlfriend) He returned the children on August 1st. The next evening (august 2nd).....Maryam (13 yr old)...asked me to go live with her father and her sister. I refused. She then asked me to call her father and tell him that I refused. After 15 mins of her on the phone, I decided to listen in....I overheard Mr Ismail telling Maryam that if her mother decides to do it the hard way, then that's what he'd do. He said not to worry and that he'd come pick her up and take her. Noor was also telling Maryam where to look for her passport. Telling her specifically to look in my closet. Mr ismail told Maryam to have a luggage ready.
I called the police and spoke to a Constable Heard about the phone call. And was advised that because no crime had been commited that the police would not get involved. I became very fearful that Mr Ismail would try to take the children. On August 4th, mr Ismail called me and said that he would be picking up the children the following friday and having them for the weekend at his house. I conveyed to him that I didn't trust him to return the kids to me, and offered him to come and see the kids for the day and bringing them back in the evening. During that phone call, I also informed him that I overheard the conversation with his daughter. He denied that he said anything and indicated that Noor was the one talking.
On Friday August 6th.
Mr Ismail showed up at my house while the kids were at the park. He got them in his car and told them he was taking them to African Lion Safari. (it was 5:30 pm) I arrived at the park and took the kids out of his car and reminded him that I did not agree to him taking the kids for that weekend. His GF handed me some paperwork and they left. (it was divorce papers)
Since August 6th, I only heard from Mr Ismail one time. He called me and told me that I had 3 days to move back to Mississauga. I told him that I was on a lease at my new residence and I was unable to move back. I haven't heard from him again. He has not made arrangements to see the kids but has called once to talk to them. And a second time he talked to the children when I called to speak with Noor.
~~~~
On August 10th, I drove to Hamilton to see Noora. Mr Ismail's GF gave me the new court papers on that date. (seeking custody) I picked up Noor at 181 Jackson street. Which is the address that Mr ismail had been taking the children. It's a large building in downtown. The address that Mr Ismail has on all the court papers is 20 KittyHawk Drive. I drove to that location and saw a car parked in the driveway that is not mr ismails. It is a large luxury home.

About the court papers.
Mr Ismail is seeking Sole Custody of Noor. I would prefer to have joint custody. Noor has indicated to me that in a years time, she may like to return back to my home even tho it says in the court papers that she doesn't intend to.
Mr ismail is seeking to have and maintain Noora's passport. and to travel without my consent.
-at the moment, Mr ismail has Noora's passport. When I asked him to return it, he refused. I originally wrote Mr Ismail a letter saying that Noora could stay with him. (its in the court papers) And was aware that Noora would be travelling with him to Egypt for part of the summer. But now that this has changed, I want her passport back. I do not want Noora travelling without my consent. Mr Ismail tried to marry off his Canadian niece at the age of 16. He also tried to marry off his oldest daughter when she was 15. (part of the reasoning for my return from egypt). I believe that if Noora is to travel without my knowing, that Mr Ismail will definitely try to marry off his daughter. In fact, on the day I was in Hamilton with Noora, she pointed to a wedding dress in a window and told me that this would be her in 1 year. I was already told by my oldest that Mr Ismail mentioned the cousin of his GF to her and was talking about arranging a marriage. I believe it is a definite possibility.
About living in Barrie.
I have been a single parent of 5 children for the last two and a half years. Mr ismail has not helped me in any way regarding the children. Living in Mississauga the last 2 years has been stressful for myself and my oldest daughter. We have removed our islamic clothing (scarves) and have been under close scrutiny from old family friends because of it. I have broke off all contact with these so called friends. In Mississauga, we run into them from time to time, and hear the same tune from them about the evils of society and how we have transgressed from the religion. Moving to Barrie was in part, to escape from that and start anew. I am in the process of applying to Georgian College .... I have an appt this week and am looking to pursue a course of Social Service Worker. I've registered my children for YMCA and am also this week completing their registration for school. I'm willing to appease the court and do some driving to bring the children at least halfway to Mr ismail if its needed. I sent Mr Ismail a registered letter informing him of my move. I left him a voicemail on his cellphone while he was in Egypt, advising him of the move. I don't understand how Mr Ismail can demand me to return to Mississauga or forfeit custody of the children. He is in no position to provide for them and for the most part, has not been an active participant of their lives for the last 10 years. He frequently forgets birthdays and during any religions festivity is mostly not present in the country. Last year he texted the children from Morroco saying he was spending Eid there. I've also signed a 2 year lease for my house.
-I am concerned about who will be guardian to Noora in Mr Ismail's absence. His common law girlfriend does not have custody or visiting rights to her own children, so I'm concerned about her one on one interaction with Noora.

Is your lawyer not willing to work in the polygamy angle or has this not even been discussed?f

If it's not too late, I would suggest changing "He is in no position to provide for them" to "He claims to be in no position to provide for them," since it's obvious he has money that he chooses not to spend on the children.

The Canadian courts would have to be run by p*ssies (hehehe) to rule in favor of him on any of these issues. But then again, I saw Dear Zachary ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1152758/ ).
Fingers crossed and prayers said :)
Love,

I didn't discuss polygamy with the lawyer....
I also added on the timeline that I am concerned about who will be Noora's guardian in the absence of her father. (and when this question will come to court, I'm going to bring up the fact that MM's husband has custody of her own kids)

Safa I really hope habibty that yur lawyer discusses his multiple polygamous (while in Canada and therefore illegal) marriages in court!!!!!!! This is the time to pull out ALL the stops and go for broke. You might get rid of him forever! The court needs to see he has NO respect for laws whatsoever. And I also think you need to make it verrry clear that he paid for fertility treatment for that woman while claiming he cant support the kids he already has. God I wish I could be a fly on the wall in that courtroom! Love you Safa!

Thanks Yasmine!
