that is very painfull , I am sorry to here that :
Most of us are from the USA On this site , And don't have any info on the laws in Canada ,
However the laws here provide for a Guardian Ad Litem to be appointed , And this person reports to the court ,
Myabe you would be able to talk to a number of atty's in canada . It's border line self defeating to hire just any atty here also , So Interview a bunch of atty's and see what can be done . I have found that I can't go pay a bunch of retainers to every atty that charges to just consult , And the worst one I hired charged for consultation ,
So that should not be a limiting factor , In other words there are good atty's that don't charge for consultation , And I found one and hired him . Advice for her in Washinton state would be that you have to get an atty that knows how to use the system , And that would be to file contempt , And It's hard to get contempt because it has to be will full disobeyance of a
court order :But the issue is you file ,
Basically talk to a bunch of atty before you hire any one of them ! From My expeirience DON'T hire one that talks a big story , Because it's not about a big story , Its about a legal process , Thats like following directions , It's not about any fabulous process , there is iether a legal remedy by law or not , Yes you could be totally frustrated , especially if you get an atty that charges 26,000 $ to get a
parenting plan , to be thats a sign of way wrong , My atty charged a flat fee of 3,000$ And did a fine job , And his explanations were so simple , That after the idiot atty;s I had before Icould notbelieve the simplicity ,
Like if the Guardian ad Litem reports to the court that mom moved three times and won't let you see the child , And the child tells the Gal she wants to see you , Here the court will play it safe and make her give you the child ,
If you did not know that process you would be frustrated here also .
Because My atty explains ,
" The judge doesn't know who to believe in these cases so they have to make a call " Thats why we appoint a Guardian ad Litem to go investigate and report back to the Judge , Then the judge has a better Idea of whats going on "
But when these things happen as they did with you it happens here also , The Mom tells a wopper of a story , Like my psycho said I was abusive , So I could not see my son untill the Guardian ad Litem reported to the court that There was no evidence given to her that caused her to believe I was abusive And I should see My son , Then the court ordered that I see My son and that was that !
Hopefully this clarified what may be in Canada also : And could be the missing link for you
