Justice for Children - Enforcement for Access Orders

Rob Nicholson, Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada
Sponsored by: 
We ask that Canada enforce Access Orders in Family Court.Once a court of law has determined that a child should have access to both parents that needs to be enforced.  Without this enforcment many children are being denied access to their non-custodial parent and their parent/child bond and relationships are being destroyed.Children deserve both parents.

Currently in Canada court orders pronounced outlining access and visitation of a non-custodial parent and their child are not enforced. Thousands of children are being denied their right to form a solid relationship with their non-custodial parent (in most cases, their father). In this system Child Support payments are enforced by law and can result in jail time if the non-custodial parent does not comply. However the custodial parent (in most cases, the mother) does not have to allow their children to visit the father as ordered by a Family Court Justice. We are asking that the rights of children and fathers be heard and that the federal government take the necessary steps to enforce a child's right to both parents.

It is critical to a child's wellbeing and healthy development to have the support and involvement of both parents. Our society looks forward to the end of lawlessness and the fostering of respect and cooperation.

If a court of law in any Canadian province ORDERS access to both parents for their children and that one of the parents, usually the mother, refuses openly or through any other way to obey that court ORDER and deprives the child of the precious contact with the other parent, this should be systematically condemned and sanctionned and the judgement should be automatically enforced. Otherwise, what is the legal system for? If a woman can do as she wants and go against the courts orders, why should we ask and trust a court to decide what is in the best interest of our children if we know that the woman can do as she wants anyway and without any consequences? Next thing you know, we'll be back with horror stories where people will take the law in their own hands. Is that what you want?

When is the family law system going to wake up and see the pain that the biases are causing fathers and children? It is in childrens best interest that they have significant relationships with both parents!!!

It's a disaster that the government professes to support the family yet they can't/won't even stick-up for their own judges' Orders, nor do the judges themselves, when the custodial parent tells them to "Stick it!", as exemplified by their non-compliance and don't get consequenced but the children are torn from one parent. "Get a conscience!"

IT IS A HUMAN BIRTH RIGHT FOR CHILDREN OF SEPARATION & DIVORCE TO HAVE A HEALTHY, STABLE AND MEANINGFUL RELATIONSHIP WITH BOTH LOVING DEDICATED PARENTS AND EXTENDED FAMILIES. STOP THE CHILD ABUSE!!! KIDS NEED THE LOVE OF BOTH PARENTS.

The child having access to both parents needs to be enforced, for too many parents abuse that and the child suffers for the parents anger and jealousy.

I became a father for the first time at the age of 44. The day my daughter was born I promised myself that I would never let anything come between my family and me. Little did I know at the time was that the mother of our little girl would be the one to destroy the one thing that matters to me more than life itself. MY FAMILY. The mother took our 11 month old daughter away from me because she wants her for herself and is denying me access. I still love them BOTH so much but it seems that today, in this day and age, if you are a father, YOU DON'T MATTER. When the woman decides to leave and take the child with her... too bad for DAD. "Just pay your child support and leave us alone or the law will take care of you". And if dad tries to see his child... THE LAW WILL TAKE HER SIDE EACH & EVERY TIME. This HAS to change. The dad (or male) is the one that is always suppose to be the strong one, but I have to say that I have NEVER felt so weak & useless in all my life. And the laws and judges of this country are to blame. Not all men are bad, but also, not all women are good. It doesn't mean that just because you can give birth to another human being, that you are automatically entitled to do what you want with the child. Some men are better parents than some women. We've all seen it at some time or another. So why have fathers become disposable? In desperate need of answers.

I think it's a shame that children are being used as weapons in legal battles. Fathers have just as much right as mothers and should have an active role in the childs life. Not just a babysitter when mom needs time to herself.

Unlike most, I do have roughly half the time with my two duaghters. Unfortunately, it has virtually cost everything I had. Court costs alone, were more than 140,000 dollars. Through this court circus, I also lost my career and my retirement savings. I fought because I was offered 2 weekends a month and no custody. That's a babysitter, not a father. Court battles have been non-stop and I am now looking at bankruptcy as I can no longer afford a lawyer to defend me in the latest action. Soon after I met my new wife and her two sons, court took off and the one son lost his kidneys to a rare disease. Battling a vidictive ex-wife and an unjust justice system has NOT been what our household has needed. Essentially, the system has condoned and assisted the extermination of my new family, while leveraging up my ex's. Unfortunately I am up against a hypocratic legal system. The judges and lawyers supporting it have only allowed me to discover a new level of disgusted. I discovered a system that spouts 'kids first' and displays quite the opposite. Having said that, If I could go back, I would do this again, and again, as my daughters are more than worth it. They want their dad and shall have their dad. Even if he can't aford much more for them than McDonalds and hugs.

I agree, however, it my case, the situation is reversed. Not only do I have to pay child support to my abusive ex, they have left my 4 children in his custody (even though my 14 year old accused him of molesting her).
