Hi Community....
I am thinking about starting a petition for Family Law Reform. I would like to see our MPP's/MP's bring forward a private members bill that proposes legislation that :
1. Index's and/or cap's what a lawyer can charge a client to handle a divorce matter.
2. That parties be required to mediate prior to having to resort to litigation.
Having been through it, Its clear to me that we are all being taken advantage of by family lawyers. No matter how benevolent they may claim to be. They are soaking us and they know it.
I think we can take the model of the OCL, or that of legal aid and expand it to cover all people.
This has to stop. What do you guys think about a petition in this regard ?
