The very idea that twenty years later there would not even be the slightest hint of presumed joint physical custody was inconceivable to people familiar with the best interests of the child, both parents.
The supporters of sole custody were even down to feeble excuses 15 years ago. They said they had no problem with joint custody as long as the parents got along. As soon as I said, "if we got along we'd probably still be together". When the excuses ran out they just went silent, ignoring the whole issue that mobilized so many people pointing out the courts needed to follow their mandate and rule in the best interests of the child. The government refused to entertain such a notion as they used sole custody to increase child support claw back, $15 million a month in BC alone.
We certainly made enough noise and several MP,s took notice and conveyed how many children the court was failing with. Any noise that made it to Ottawa was successfully countered with... lol you guessed it, parents need to get along for joint custody to work. That of course it a total lie. There are a great many parents that share their kids and do not get along, some picking up and dropping off the kids at a neutral location... but as ridiculous an argument as that is against the courts failing hundreds of thousands of children.. it was successful in ending any speculation of a position change by the courts.
Taking that one step further how is it that every level of government has not problem with what many consider criminal. Obviously they are bullet proof because the checks and balances are handled politically, anything that would make them look like criminals is handled by the RCMP, the only non political check.
The last Liberal government burglarized the national treasury to the tune of $40 million for election purposes. The PM created an inquiry bench by Justice Gomery who entertained us all by allowing the former PM show the court his balls, literally, boxes of golf balls. Meanwhile the three years election Canada needed to destroy who was elected on the dirty money had elapsed and the evidence was destroyed, with full knowledge by the RCMP, they just looked the other way. The orders to look the other way must have come from the top brass and there is only one thing that would motivate them, a lot of cash. The $40 million went somewhere but it was enough for me to conclude the reason the governments are bullet proof, they are protected by the RCMP. The only way government will be threatened with consequences enough to force the courts to follow their mandate through instructions from the attorney general is to remove their armor, the RCMP.
While presume joint physical custody is still my priority it won't happen till the RCMP is disbanded leaving the government open to consequences that will be strong enough to force change.
Disbanding the RCMP is the gesture that will convince me he is serious about the rampant corruption, I'll take it as a show of good faith.
