Canada\u2019s family courts have created one of the most disgusting double standards in our legal system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If a father misses one child support payment, the system comes down on him like a hammer \u2014 wage garnishment, driver\u2019s license suspension, even jail time. But when mothers completely block fathers from seeing their children, the courts do almost nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The statistics are shocking. Studies show that 40 to 60 percent<\/strong> of non-custodial fathers report that their ex-partner actively interferes with or denies court-ordered access. Many of these mothers face zero consequences \u2014 not even a slap on the wrist. Court orders are treated as optional for mothers, but iron-clad for fathers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is not a glitch in the system. This is how the system is designed to work. Judges will quickly punish a father for being late on support, but when a mother violates access, the same courts drag their feet for months or years while the father-child relationship is destroyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A mother can deny access for years and the worst that usually happens is a warning. A father can miss a single payment and face contempt of court. The hypocrisy is blatant and shameful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This isn\u2019t justice. It\u2019s state-sanctioned parental alienation, protected and enabled by the very courts that are supposed to act in the best interest of the child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n See next article for solutions.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Canada\u2019s family courts have created one of the most disgusting double standards in our legal system.
