Ok, so I need some help / advice.
On the night of April 2nd, 2014, my outstanding wife had my oldest daughter bring me ten dollars, to send me out to get doughnuts, when I came back, my wife had taken my two girls and fled without consent, and at the time, my youngest was four years old.
Thankfully, my daughters are in the same city, but now they're on welfare, their mother can't even afford to take care of my daughters financially, and she won't even admit that she messed up, and that she can't afford to take care of my daughters, almost every two weeks, she contacts me, asking me for money for groceries, like i'm supposed to help her survive, when she abducted my daughters, and has caused so much turmoil.
For almost five nights, I didn't know where my girls were, and I started calling the police and C.A to get some help to have my daughters returned.
I have since retained a family lawyer, and he seems to be not very interested in getting my daughters back, going so far as to tell me that since it was the mother who had taken my daughters from our habitual residence, she can do what ever she wants, and that she doesn't need consent to abduct a fathers children.
After finding some cases that were held in Ontario, where a judge ruled that a wife who took off with the daughter, the mother committed abduction.
I brought this to my lawyers attention, and he literally blew a gasket, and told me that this is Canada, you can't say that in front of a judge, unless you want her to throw the book at you.
I have reached out to the police multiple times, asking what charges I could bring, either kidnapping, or abduction, and for some reason, those laws are not on the books in Canada, and because the mother did this, she can do what ever she wants.
My question is this, what recourse do I have as the father, to not only get my daughters back, but to have some sort of charges brought forward, for the actions that their mother committed?
As a father, I am at the end of my rope, and I'm having a very hard time coming to terms that any parent can commit abduction / kidnapping, and not be charged with something, and the fact that the Canadian judicial system actually allows a mother to do this to children, and a father.
