Oshawa family lawyers: Divorce Lawyers, child custody and access support and more

May 13

When searching for a family lawyer in Oshawa always keep in mind a few things. First remember that they are there to make money, not to help your kids. Although they may say they care for you and your situation remember who’s paying the bills. The family court in Oshawa is a treadmill of lawyers and angry people wanting to fight and battle in court.

The Oshawa Court House solves very little and causes an enormous amount of stress.

How can I say this? I’ve spent 10 years and 2 lawyers later chasing a ghost a the Oshawa courts. I’ve talked with duty council and those at the family law information centre (or FLIC Office) and got the same run around. Everything has a procedure and every procedure can be abused to ones advantage. Where exactly is it that the children are looked after?

Child Support Lawyers

Many lawyers make a very simple calculation that hooks you in. It’s kind of like buying a car, yea you know the drill, let me speak to my manager I’m not sure we can do that. It’s amazing he comes back and all of a sudden you get the best deal in the world for your new car, hey he didn’t even make a commission. Yea right buddy, give me a break.

How are divorce lawyers the same as car salesmen?

The comparison may seem wrong but family law firms hook you in to a financial win fall for you. They do this by finding what it is you need to have more money. This makes it more palatable for you to pay them. Child support, spousal support are all used to leverage you to buy in to there game. Then they throw at you, “We’ll get him for costs”. Now they have your ex paying for your legal expenses. Give me a break!

YOU ARE PAYING.

So when you’re looking for a family lawyer in Oshawa or Durham Region always and I mean always remember you’re paying the bill and they will keep that bill moving.

(Office of the Children’s Lawyer) The wicked witch of the East has been found: In Oshawa

Apr 01

The Office of the Children’s Lawyer is a law office in the Ministry of the Attorney General that is suppose to provide justice on behalf of children under 18. This office and those representing it, the clinical investigators, prepare reports for the court in a custody/access proceeding to assist lawyers who are representing the children in court, such as the Family Court in Oshawa.

Now this all sounds nice and very protective of the rights and best wishes of children.

Can the Office of the Children’s Lawyer (OCL) Provide Unbiased Evaluation?

In my view and experience the answer is NO. The OCL, or Office of the Children’s Lawyer, allows for the unfair discrimination of men with regards to investigating the best interests of children.

Some years ago my children’s mother abandoned them leaving when one child was only 2 years old. The mother at that time wanted nothing to do with the children. A few years later when she realized that she would have to pay child support she began to fight for the kids. The OCL, or Office of the Children’s Lawyer, got involved using a social worker based out of Oshawa Family Court. At the time I was naive thinking that I had nothing to fear, how wrong I was. Father discrimination is rampant in Durham Region and supported by the Durham Children’s Aid Society, the OCL or Office of the Children’s Lawyer and the court system. I met this woman at my front door, long silver hair pulled tight in to a ponytail. She stood straight and ridged like an army sergeant. There was no doubt in my mind that this woman was burned by a man and she was out exact revenge. She was cold, short and extremely condescending. She could care less about the children and what was making them happy and only probed in to the failure of the marriage. This woman hated men and it showed. I had visions of the wicked witch of the East burning her bra back in the 70’s. But, as I sat there talking with her I thought that I was going to have a fair evaluation of my circumstances. Was I wrong! This woman not only reported a completely biased view of what was going on she out right lied. This social worker who hated men and had an axe to grind wanted to take out her revenge on all the men out there. She wrote such foul lies about me, the father of these children who solely provided for them for over 4 years, in her report to the court I had to take action.

How to file a response to the OCL report?

The only course of action I could take was to file a response to this outrageous report. Unlike the social workers report, my report was exact and factual and removed of emotional bias. Issue after issue I painted a clear picture of what actually happened, then I filed it. The OCL or Office of the Children’s Lawyer received my response and simply ignored it. They responded back, not that I expected anything different, without issue of the original report. They were ok with lies and half truths.

Oshawa Family Court

I will say that the judges, and there were a few, that read both the OCL, or Office of the Children’s Lawyer, report and my response to it all came to the same general view. The Office of the Children’s Lawyer is not always right and there views can be biased, they dismissed the report.

Men, fathers, when you are fighting for your children remember this. You will NOT get any support from the system including the Office of the Children’s Lawyer, the Durham Children’s Aid Society and other services provided in Durham Region. You will need to fight hard and more importantly smarter. Find a good lawyer in Durham Region, and that’s hard to do, that understands how to fight for fathers.

Good luck with your battle!

Watch out! Yes I’ve been down that path a few times and let me tell you. They all seem to do exactly the same thing, collect your money. For obvious reason I can’t name names here, hell we are talking about lawyers. But I have a few tips that I hope you find useful when search for a lawyer in the Durham Region. That could be a lawyer in Oshawa or a lawyer in Pickering you might even consider a lawyer in Ajax or lastly a lawyer in Whitby.

Tips On Finding a Good Family Lawyer

Ok these tips aren’t going to be your usual white washed legal advise but rather based on real experience.

Ask for references

If your lawyer gives you the car salesman line, don’t you trust me or something along those lines, run for the hills.

Drive the ship

Always remember who is paying the bill, it’s you did you forget? Many lawyers pray on your anger and formulate plans to exact it at your ex. Now really what they are doing is putting blinders on you and leading down the path. Take control and learn early to say NO to your lawyer.

Double check with SOME family or friends

Now be very careful here. Asking for advice from your cheerleaders can and often does get you in more trouble. Find someone who doesn’t hate your ex like you do and someone who can say no to you. This person will help guide you better then anyone else.

Get free advise

Many courts have a free advise center. Depending on your income you will either get procedural advise or detailed advise. I suggest you don’t let them know you already have a lawyer and make them think that you’re looking for one. This way you will get some ‘extra’ advise to help keep you and your real lawyer in check.

Having these basic tips when going through what is often called hell will help to keep you guided in a healthy direction.
