I heard this man speak yesterday morning on CBC radio- The Current, what a smart man! He is speaking out against family court and how it makes victims out of the children involved in a parent's divorce. He mentions that it takes a "level of maturity" on behalf of the parents involved to be able to mediate rather than litigate. The whole thing I find sad about this is it is becoming more apparent that his views are few and far between AND it looks more and more like if you want to do what is best for your child/ren when locked in a custody battle walking away, at least in Ontario, seems to be the only way to keep them from getting hurt.
My partner is going through this right now and hearing Justice Brownstone talk sent shivers down my spine with the harsh reality.
We can only hope that more Justices take Justice Brownstone's lead and realize that children benefit from the involvement of BOTH parents in their lives, not just the traditional mom gets custody and dad sees them every other weekend....unless of course there are extenuating circumstances ie: abuse etc.
His book is called Tug of War....This man really made a lot of sense and I felt compelled to share this with all!
