After this I still plan on going to the media, just want the overall case over and done with
Hopefully things go your way (no reason they shouldn't) and the judge reprimands the couple for being idiots!
Good luck! It will go great for you I'm sure.
hey tegansmom, what happened, sorry i have been out of the loop for a bit. I had to go to court 2 years ago, if you need help preparing let me know
Good luck!!!! A quick word of advice, for what it's worth (I did a fair bit of court room time in a nasty, nasty divorce and lawsuit). Don't be demonstrative. Don't make physical gestures to indicate your displeasure about what anyone is saying. Less is more and understated is the way to go...at least that was my experience. Those who sit and shake their heads and 'appear' to be upset tend to (again in my experience), for lack of a better term, annoy the judge. I did not work well for my ex anyway!
are you in ottawa?

make sure you are dressed in a manor appropriate for court. have a documents organized a tabed so when you need something, you wont have to fumble looking for it. also have all of your points written out on cuecards, and attached with each supporting documents( careful with paperclips, if you drop stuff all you paper work might get jumbled. make sure you have a pen and paper with at least two pens. make notes. and smile.
oh i was going to give you my number. i still can if you want to talk, but it would cost long distance charges...

This will be straight forward. I've sued for unpaid fees and won and I've talked a few carers through it too and they all won as well.
As long as your contracts are good, the judge will initially question you both to determine you really are an independent contractor/self-employed. Things like who determines hours, who determines location of work, who determines tasks etc. This is merely because employment laws are different.
Once the Judge is satisfied you really do fall into the realms of self-employed, then they'll look at your contracts. First glance, is it legal, signed by both parties, does it explain clearly or is it ambiguous. As long as it's clear, then the contract conditions will be upheld.
In terms of their counter claim - blah. We are in a position of trust and get to see things others don't. As long as the call to report them wasn't malicious, then you did what you (or any other concerned adult) is meant to. If every parent could sue those who express concern to CAS, then the whole system would fall apart.
Since it's your ex clients counter-claim, they will have to be able to prove it was malicious. It doesn't matter if your concerns were later proven unfounded (not saying that was the outcome). What matters is CAS isn't called just to stir up trouble for a family and if they are claiming you did that, then they have to be able to convince the judge of that.
Just stick to the facts, don't elaborate with your feelings, the Judge is not Dr Phil and he/she won't care about your feelings. Don't make statements you can't back up with documents or witnesses, don't get personal. Facts only with no elaboration/waffle/filler words.
Was thinking of you and hope all went well.
What a headache!! Hope the December date goes well!
Oh wow I am so sorry that there was no closure yesterday. I am sending lots of hugs and was thinking of you lots yesterday.

I have been thinking of you !!! My parents were foster parents and had to go through a court battle ( they won ) but the stress !!!! I give you credit for sitting while the judge yelled !! Good grief ! You think if you are expected to act a certain way so should the judge !!!
I hope you are rewarded for your emotional stress !!!
Hey, sorry to hear that you have to go back....If you ever need to chat you have my number. Keep strong, know that you did nothing differently then any of us would have done, that we have your back, and If this judge has any sence of intelligence, then he will see right through this family. hugs
