e-3843 (Justice)
Original language of petition: French
Petition to the Minister of Justice
- Raising children requires an enormous amount of parenting time;
- The Divorce Act is discriminatory regarding parenting time for parents who are separated and do not have shared custody;
- A fit, non-custodial parent can decide, legally and unilaterally, how to use their parenting time and whether to spend any time at all with their children, and without the custodial parent having any recourse;
- This is harmful for the children (abandonment, psychological trauma) and the custodial parent (lack of time for work, family activities, rest, exposure to abuse, in a situation of servitude); and
- This exacerbates difficulties and poverty among single-parent families.
