Canadian Father Blog

For the purpose of this page I only deal with Canadian Family Law, the province of BC in particular. Not sure if you know or have head of what is known as Familily Maintanence Enforcement Program (aka FMEP) but for all intense and purposes it is a subset and pretty secretive arm of the government that has authority to do anything to an individual from bad credit to jail and all in between that they want including preventing the crossing of borderes, not sure where you are located but divorce in this country is made very expensive by the lawyers and judges and of course intentioally made adversarial to line their own pockets, when all is said and done neither party is really further ahead but one parent is assigned to pay for a basically an unresitricted living for the other parent whether or not childen involved are their genetic childre or not, whether the other parent is capable of working or not etc.. so in a lot of cases one parent (usually the father) becomes broke, frustrated, depressed, suicidal, or worse allienated.. FMEP is relentless and makes you go back to court, but again most have no money, to try and prove that you can't survive... Then the worst of all this is the government of Canada set up this FMEP system to enforce money only.. So custody and access to children or even what is in the best interest of children is left to the wind.. so we can easily be made to feel like terrorists..
