Fathers fight back with suit
By CP
HALIFAX -- Two Nova Scotians say they've launched a massive lawsuit against the federal government in an attempt to protect the rights of parents who lose custody of their children. Connie Brauer and Vic Harris said in a news release this week they have filed a $900 billion lawsuit at the Federal Court of Canada in Nova Scotia, alleging Charter of Rights and Freedoms violations by the government.
In the fiercely worded release, they argue that when one parent loses custody of his or her children after a divorce, they lose all rights to be involved with the life of that child.
Brauer and Harris, who are from Falmouth, N.S., are members of Fathers 4 Justice, an international group promoting the custodial rights of fathers.
