Hey - Recently one of Trudeau’s comments kind of caught my attention. His intentions were probably good but I don’t know if he realizes how many men are out there (both indigenous and non indigenous) the have been physically and or mentally abused in their former relationship. Some of this abuse has also reilted in homelessness for these me . Many men are typically to proud to admit they were abused physically. I would like to create a poll in the group that would if even anonymously ask these questions to the men 1) Were you physically abused? 2) Were you mentally abused? 3)Did you suffer from anxiety and depression as a result? 4) Were you afraid to call the police for fear of breaking up the family 5) Were you too embarrassed to ask your doctor for mental health help? 6) Were you afraid to defend yourself for fear that you would be charged with assault? 7) Did this abuse affect your job? 8) Do you still have anxiety from the abuse that you suffered.



Many men like me are able to hide the abuse from family and friends. I think if we posted an anonymous survey that more people would be apt to be truthful. What are your thought ???

My girlfriend broke up with me while she's in the hospital due to illness because of the pregnancy of my child. She left Monday to go to the doctors for a check-up she got up give me a hug and a kiss help me make my lunch told me she loved me very much and have a great day. Then she was admitted to the hospital because her kidneys were failing. Her mother went there and her mother has turned my woman against me. after a week of her being in the hospital she has broken up with me and told me that that we will no longer be together 4 days before my daughter was born. Then she told me she was taking my child to her mother's afterwards and not coming back to the home that we have built. I'm coming to terms with that but I just feel like I've been robbed of every single thing that a father is supposed to experience in the birthing of his child. 4/8 and a half months I ate blood and slept taking care of my girlfriend sure things have been stressful at times but that's life that's how we get through it that's how we become stronger but she just doesn't get it I just want to know what my rights are please and thank you

What counts as ‘urgent’ in a pandemic? From children’s aid to custody cases, Ontario family courts adjust to COVID-19

By ALYSHAH HASHAM COURTS REPORTER

Sat., March 28, 2020



Family courts in Ontario are now dealing only with urgent matters, with hearings taking place remotely.



But what does the word “urgent” actually mean amid the COVID-19?

Across the province, judges, lawyers, legal clinics, couples and parents are learning how to adapt to the restrictions being placed on family court cases amid the pandemic.



So far in Toronto, the urgent matters have included the usual violations of custody arrangements and domestic violence, but could soon include child support variations as the number of Canadians laid off increases, said family lawyer Lorna Yates.



“What we are starting to see is people who, through no fault of their own, have lost their jobs and can’t maintain the level of support so they need to get a bit of relief. And you would hope that people would be able to deal with each other in a mature way,” said Yates. “But a lot of people can’t.”

To help answer questions like whether a matter is urgent enough to be heard by a court, the Law Society of Ontario has set up a phone line to connect self-represented litigants with volunteer lawyers for half-an-hour of free advice (Toll-free 1-800-268-7568, General: 416-947-3310). If the issue involves domestic violence, the lawyers can also help with basic safety planning and contact information for family court support workers and Luke’s Place.



Legal Aid Ontario is also offering free legal advice by phone at 1-800-668-8258 with no financial eligibility requirement.



Family law information centres, which can assist with other needs including housing, interpreters and social assistance, also remain available by phone. Free remote mediation services are also still available through the courts.



But even with these resources, lawyers remain concerned about litigants who may not be able to easily access phone or video services, and those who require interpreters.



Some questions through the emergency line have been about custody arrangements as a result of COVID-19, said Yates, who helped create the emergency line.



There have been calls about ensuring the safety of children if one of the parents is a health-care worker, for example, she said. Other lawyers have been asked questions that have no clear answer, like what would happen should a lockdown be instituted, and whether there would be an exception to allow for parenting arrangements to continue.



The courts so far have said that custody arrangements should continue as normal where possible — modified where needed to ensure COVID-19 precautions including strict social distancing or mandatory quarantines are being followed — and that parents should try work out a solution themselves before resorting to a court hearing.



Article Continued Below

“Right now, families need more co-operation. And less litigation,” said a recent decision from Superior Court Justice Alex Pazaratz. “None of us have ever experienced anything like this. We are all going to have to try a bit harder — for the sake of our children,”



The decision came from a Hamilton case where a mother had primary custody of a nine-year-old boy and the father had access on alternate weekends. The mother sought an urgent hearing to suspend the father’s in-person access out of concern the father would not maintain social distancing.



“Parents are understandably confused and worried about what to do. Similarly, this is uncharted territory for our court system,” Pazaratz said.



“None of us know how long this crisis is going to last. In many respects we are going to have to put our lives ‘on hold’ until COVID-19 is resolved,” he said. “But children’s lives — and vitally important family relationships — cannot be placed ‘on hold’ indefinitely without risking serious emotional harm and upset. A blanket policy that children should never leave their primary residence — even to visit their other parent — is inconsistent with a comprehensive analysis of the best interests of the child. In troubling and disorienting times, children need the love, guidance and emotional support of both parents, now more than ever.”



He said the matter would not be considered urgent at this point and urged the parents work it out on their own.



However “there will be zero tolerance for any parent who recklessly exposes a child (or members of the child’s household) to any COVID-19 risk,” he said.



Most co-parents are able to resolve parenting disputes without resorting to court hearings, making the cases that do come to court high-conflict, family lawyer Katherine MacDonald said.



But she has been pleased to see that, among her high-conflict cases, there have been efforts made to continue custody arrangements in a safe way. In one instance, a parent who has a car is picking up and dropping off their child rather than making the other parent use transit as normal.



However, she is concerned about her clients who have children in the care of the Children’s Aid Society. The CAS is no longer doing in-person visits — only phone and video — lawyers say. And the locations where supervised access typically occurs, like malls or parks, are now closed. Over months, the impact of this restriction could be devastating for both parents and children, MacDonald said.



“The pandemic is basically severing a lot of these face-to-face relationships between parents and kids, and it’s particularly important for infants, where video calls are just not the same,” said family lawyer Tammy Law, who specializes in child-protection cases.



Lawyers are waiting on decisions from the court on this issue, she said.



While the direction of the court in non-CAS cases has been to encourage flexibility and creativity in the best interests of the children, the position of the CAS has been inflexible, she said.



“It doesn’t matter if your client has an amazing plan, if your client is self-isolating and the other parent agrees to the access,” she said. “I’m not suggesting everyone should be having face-to-face access, some people may be at high-risk of contracting this virus, but that’s not all families.”



In a statement, the Children’s Aid Society of Toronto said that starting on March 18 they began “replacing some in-person contact with telephone or video calls when possible and appropriate for families” and continue to assess the practice on a case-by-case basis prioritizing public health issues and ensuring the safety of the children, youth and parents.



Yates says that as Superior Court of Justice gets the hang of remote hearings via phone and video they hope to be able to be able to begin to deal with some non-urgent matters again.



“That may take a lot of creativity and a lot of technology,” she said. “But there is certainly an openness to that in the courts.”



A silver lining has been that the courts are having to significantly improve their technological capacity, allowing for documents to be filed electronically and remote hearings.



“We are going to learn some stuff out of this,” said family lawyer Mary Reilly.



And hopefully, she said, it will improve court efficiency when the courts resume and face a huge backlog of adjourned cases.

Hello everyone.



Please I need help from you all.

I need recommendations for a great male family lawyer who is Jewish and in the Greater Toronto preferably newmarket / York Region. I’m convinced my current lawyer (female) is not particularly representing my interest.



My Ex is a social worker who knows how to manipulate the Canadian family law system. She has always been emotional, mentally, and physically abusive towards me. However, I never reported any of these issues to the police, because I loved her, and feared that a criminal record would destroy her career.



We separated in March 2018 and have since attended a Case conference and a Settlement Conference. A Trial Management conference was scheduled for earlier this week, however due to the Pandemic, the New market Court had to Close and I have been told that we won’t be getting a trial date until June or July 2020.



In the last 2 years, I have disclosed everything I own to my Ex for equalization purposes, however she keeps hiding Assets and bank accounts. She’s deliberating delaying and prolonging the divorce and equalization process by making a lot of unreasonable and unrealistic demands.She’s pushing for Sole Custody of both kids and a double of the child support I should be paying (based on the table amount).

She also transferred a property she had during the marriage to her mother just 6 months before the separation to hide her stake in the property in preparation to kicking me out.

She is self-represented and very familiar with the Canadian family court system, while I’m being represented. I cannot represent myself even if I wanted to as I’m dyslexic and she’s very much aware of this and even go as far as throwing multiple documents to overwhelm me.Her deliberate attempts to delay and prolong this process is however incurring more legal bills on my part. Currently, I have paid my lawyer $19,000 (CAD) over the last 6 months and still running into more debt, as we still cannot finalize divorce as a result of disagreement on Child Support, custody, and equalization.

I have always paid her the table child support since the date of separation even when I lost my job by interac and kept all the payment records and never missed a payment.



My observation is that my lawyer (female) is not pushing or stopping her at all and keeps indirectly advising me to concede on a lot of things.On many different occasions, I have compromised a lot in order to reach a settlement with Ex but this case just keeps dragging forever. Not only is this draining me financially, my mental and emotional health is at stake.



A relative suggested I propose a separation agreement and a settlement meeting outside the court to her instead of proceeding with a trial management conference. However, I don’t know if this will be of any advantage to me.

I don’t want to remain just desperate from my Ex,I want to be completely divorced from her.

Can a separation agreement make this happen?



All in all, my priority is to be divorced ASAP and to finalize on Child Support, Custody, and Equalization.I would rather invest in my children’s lives that to continue paying legal fees. I need my sanity and life back.

She’s very manipulative and a control freak and has also promised to wreck me financially and take up major chunk of all my future earnings for the rest of my life and do all she can to make it impossible for me to move on or ever have a new family and happy life despite the fact that she kicked me out of the marriage and asked for divorce because I asked for Visitation Access to our children because I refused to let her keep controlling me.



Advices and recommendations are welcome please.



Thank you.

Have you heard if in these situations the courts will hear an emergency request for any parent withholding? Our lawyer said there's nothing we can do, but we've read news reports that in some emergency situations family court will hear the request.

We're really worried about her being withheld from Dad for weeks and using the pandemic as a reason.
