Long overdue, it's definitely time to put a spotlight on the corruption in the family courts. Survivors of domestic violence must have their voices heard, not just for the domestic violence but for the further abuse within the system. It's hard to believe that this barbaric system has been permitted to carry out atrocities for so long, perpetuating the abuse of women and children. I can't not wait until this system is brought to justice and every corrupt judge stands trial for their crimes. Please keep me informed if you know of any class action lawsuit in Canada.

Women have no enforceable rights in family court. Mothers and their children suffer. This systemic discrimination must be addressed. The lawsuit is so needed! Thank you.

Thank you for this. After years of fighting and feeling worn out to the point that I can't even get myself to file another motion, this gives me a sense of relief, hope and renewed energy.

Ladies, these articles must be shared and shared. They need numbers.. lots of women. There are so many American women are affected negatively by these paternalistic, misogynist decisions made in family court. Sharing this will encourage women to join.

Thank You for this lawsuit, this is music to my ears. I honestly believe we can change the system if they are exposed and we as women unity as one. My son still now age 6 hasn’t received a state attorney. The birth certificate father is using my son for immigration status. The real father ….will be discovered very soon and be bought for his emotional & financial needs for my son.

how do you prove discrimination in court?

Not one case at a time. A class action lawsuit with many complainants is one way, probably the best way.
