family lawyers

I had to get a lawyer from Winnipeg.
Just a bit of friendly advice...
lawyers will piss around with wording in orders , send court orders back and forth with wrong information so in the end they ultimately will drain you of finances and drain you emotionally.
I would recommend you and your ex try to be civil and hash out an order through free mediation offered after taking For Sake of the Children.
I spent three years fighting to move to brandon with my son even after my ex said I could move then changed his mind after I established a new home for my son and I. He lied and said he didn’t know I was moving with my son and I was forced to move my son back. This fight cost me over 75,000.
If you do go that route I have a court order and the only thing in the order that can be enforced by police, Daycare’s, etc is who has care and control on specified days.
My order has parents are to pick up child from school because my ex insisted he wanted more time with our son and agreed to drive to brandon.
This was agreed in court in exchange for him driving he would getting more time with our son and not have to pay back child support.
He took the extra holiday time, back child support but won’t drive.
Police don’t care about anything except who has care and control on certain days, woman’s groups don’t help, CFS don’t help, and lawyer just get rich.
Home assessment was super stressful on my child. He began getting very emotional, developed a tick (blinking eyes), hard to get to bed etc.
If your ex is an ass and will fight everything I suggest you just figure out custody and child support on paper and after that you can’t control anything your ex does even if there are legit concerns etc.
It is stressful and emotionally draining not to mention terrible for the children.
The Manitoba legal system is corrupt and if you can avoid using it go that route.
What I learned is that no court order or judge can fix a deadbeat parent.
A deadbeat parent doesn’t put the kids first and never will.
