Women are forced to represent themselves in the court system, simply because they are unable to afford high powered family law attorney's. Women who represent themselves often feel frustrated, not taken seriously and not heard. Often, when not represented by counsel, you are in jeopardy of not getting the proper child support, spousal support, loosing custody of your children, being forced to participate in psychological evaluations that are not warranted and even the threat of loosing your home. Our judicial system is terribly flawed and as the author of this website, I experienced all the flaws first hand. My aim is to inform women of the court system, judges, evaluators, lawyers and how corrupt the court system is. My aim is to empower women with strength and to be armed with knowledge to be able to speak up and be heard and not to be taken advantage of in court. This website will have sound resources to utilize and a forum to voice your concerns or questions with anonymity. As the author of this site, I know there are many women where the judicial system has failed them, We want to hear from you. We need to hear your experience.

Mr. StingMy agency represents men and women equally. That being said, I applaud your blog. You are doing a good thing by putting information out there to help parents. In custody cases, my concern is for the children.
Keep up the great blog.
Dawn GoffIhis is so true as in 1982 I paid for a lawyer Ann or I should say my mom payed for my lawyer and they day of the divorce he used my lawyer too, this is strange as I didn't anything in our divorce and he had very good job and making hundred thousand in 2003. So I sure he also had very good pay in 1982 but I got a house witha 25 year morgage and he live with us maybe two years and the down payment came from my family!The old station wagon that ate lots of gas! Some old furniture.Some of my furniture my mom bought! I never every saw his pay cheque either while married!This man didn't tell his income to family court and in 1981 they could get him to pay the child support.My lawyer didn't get me half of his Irving Mill pension or any alimony and I had to go on Welfare with son with Downs syndrone and seven year old daughter!I ask what didn't my lawyer get? Not much at all!We need Family court TV IN Canada so women and their children are not poor and on welfare!This guy I met when I was 13teen and he sexually abused my sone Troy too!Women are living a life of stuggle!
