Hi All,
I think a vast majority of the responses provided by senior posters on this forum regarding new posters "complaints" about the other parent/ex-partner are summed up best by the Honourable Mr. Justice Quinn in para. 2:
Stirling v. Blake, 2013 ONSC 5216 (CanLII)
Date: 2013-08-12
Docket: 1068/00
URL: CanLII - 2013 ONSC 5216 (CanLII)
Citation: Stirling v. Blake, 2013 ONSC 5216 (CanLII)
I won't spoil this one by quoting it to death and remind everyone to READ THE FOOTNOTES that Justice Quinn writes:
CanLII - 2013 ONSC 5216 (CanLII)
Well... except for this gem of a footnote!
Ok... There is this very wise footnote too:
Cheers Justice Quinn! Thank-you for being a Family Law Justice!
Good Luck!

[2] Each of the parties has brought a motion asking that changes be made to court-ordered provisions concerning their children. The motions are of the type seen every day in our courts. They were heard as a trial with oral evidence. The complaints of the parties are as common as teeth. The end result of each motion would be self-evident to any rational, objective observer..

If her current relationship fails, Ms. Stirling should seek counselling with a view to determining why she has no talent for picking a mate. Alternatively, she should not live with or marry another man without the written permission of her six closest friends, who, no doubt, will see what she, so far, has failed to see.
It has been my non-clinical observation that many litigants who reach the trial stage in Family Court suffer from some form of personality disorder. Perhaps Family Court should be placed under the Ministry of Health. Too many litigants hijack Family Court, squandering valuable and diminishing resources in the process. Anyone can walk into a court house and frivolously start or defend a proceeding that, like a runaway train, is difficult to halt in a timely manner and not before damage is done.

Personality disorders are “a group of disorders in which fixed patterns of thought and behaviour cause persistent life problems.” People with such disorders “have ingrained patterns of thought and behaviour that prevent them from fitting in with society . . . Although many people have strong personalities, this is not the same as a personality disorder. People with personality disorders are inflexible and unable to adapt”: Younger-Lewis, Catherine (ed.).
