  • GTA father loses custody of boys after refusing to stop trying to cure their autism

    From the National Post:
    Father loses custody of boys after refusing to stop trying to cure their autism through homeopathy | National Post

    Justice Roselyn Zisman was particularly critical of the father’s refusal to see his children during the summer, and his threat to institutionalize the children unless his $500-a-month child-support payments were lowered.
    “If you cannot handle the children I suggest foster care, institutionalizing them, or cover my child expenses so I can take them,” wrote the man in a July text to his ex-wife.

    I'm guessing his child support must be higher now, too?
    When they mentioned his $500-a-month child-support payments, I thought that sounded quite low, for someone employed as a computer programmer, for 2 children? He's 48, so I'm guessing he's not just new, to the computer programmer field.

      Not hard to find this on CanLii.

      CanLII - 2015 ONCJ 659 (CanLII)

      His support did go up, though, part of the reason for the lower amount, is "reduced" work hours at his employment, and also at the time, he met 40% threshold for shared custody/support.

        This is a case I would totally support the children being removed from him. He's the one that needs treatment and a cure for his issues, not the kids. I assume the ruling is in line with what would happen if they erred an intact family and both parents were participating in the nonsense.

        Good for the court on this one.
