Before you go to Court - Tip #1
Tip #1 - Before you go to Family or Supreme Court . . .
make sure you have realistic expectations. Chances are
that you have been living and breathing the issues in your
case for weeks, months or years. The issues are important

When does my child's opinion count?
"When does my child's opinion count?" This is an
increasingly common question asked by separated parents.
The place of the child's voice in the separation and
divorce process has been at the centre of academic debate
for many years. With a significant increase in social
science research on how children are impacted by divorce,
there is a growing recognition that the child's voice needs
to be heard. Judges and psychologists alike are
increasingly identifying both the need to hear from children
and the positive results that occur when time is taken to
properly consider their needs and wishes.
