FDRIO March Webinar: Fact-checking claims regarding alienation: Implications for dispute resolution professionals

Posted on March 23, 2021 at 12:00 pm / 0

Concerns of alienation continue to challenge dispute resolution professionals.  While the evidence of alienation continues to accumulate, there remains great debate about whether the current research is sufficiently robust to accurately make assertions about the etiology, prevalence, assessment, consequences and appropriate interventions of alienation for children and families.  This workshop will highlight the current state of the evidence and will review the current controversies.  The workshop will include a fact checking of the various statements that have been made regarding alienation on both sides of the polarized debate. The workshop will also provide practical ways to integrate empirical research into…

Case Law Review: Moore v Sweet and Life Insurance: Implications for Family Dispute Resolution Professionals

Ian M. Hull & Nick Esterbauer
Posted on November 4, 2020 at 11:30 am / 0

For many Canadians, whether the purpose is to fund payment of anticipated estate liabilities, to assist in the financial support of one’s dependants, to honour support payment obligations, to equalize the distribution of an estate between multiple children, or to provide a direct benefit to one or more designated beneficiaries, life insurance policies represent an important component of an estate plan. If the beneficiary designation of a policy cannot be honoured following the insured’s death, this may result in the complete frustration of his or her testamentary wishes and prevent the estate plan from being implemented in the manner that…

Race and Religion vs Child Marriage in the United States

Shabina Begum
Posted on November 3, 2020 at 4:06 pm / 0

“Freeing yourself was one thing, claiming ownership of that freed self was another.” Toni Morrison, Beloved We live in a time where women are more liberated than ever, but have we truly claimed ownership of that freed self? Are we truly free or are we just benefitting from the freedom that our mothers gave us? While our sisters stood in solidarity, are we now watching our daughters get tied down in shackles, entering marriages when their bodies can barely take the burden of bearing children? Why are we standing back and allowing issues like child and forced marriage to exist…

An Update from the Office of the Children’s Lawyer

Elizabeth McCarty
Posted on November 3, 2020 at 3:16 pm / 0

Legislation and case law in Ontario recognize the importance of a child’s right to have a voice in decisions that are being made about their lives, reflecting Canada’s obligations under The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. The Office of the Children’s Lawyer (OCL) has a significant role in placing that voice at the center of decision making in the family justice system. Our ability to offer this assistance, however, was and continues to be, affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Expectedly, in the early months of the pandemic there were far fewer referrals to the OCL as…

After practising primarily as a family law trial lawyer for over twenty years and having recently completed my Masters of Fine Art in Voice Training and Coaching at the Royal Central school of Speech and Drama in the UK, I am now limiting my practice to mediation, parenting coordination, and communication coaching. What a joy it is to be able to “pivot” and refocus my energy in a supportive, rather than adversarial way at this stage of my life and career.  Coaching Self-Awareness In family law, we meet our clients when they are in a heightened state of anxiety, fear,…

Cliff’s Notes: A Right of First Refusal

Clifford Nelson
Posted on September 10, 2020 at 1:09 pm / 0

A Right of First Refusal A right of first refusal is an issue that arises in many separations between spouses. It involves a request by one party to purchase the other’s interest in the matrimonial home. It is a common request, mostly in cases where the property is held in joint tenancy. Some of the reasons for wanting to exercise a right of first refusal are obvious – a desire to maintain stability, a tactical manoeuvre to gain advantage in a custody dispute, and, of course, the desire to achieve sole ownership of a valuable asset.  Clients are often surprised…

unConference 2020 – Culture Shift: FDRIO’s 1st Online unConference a Success!

Trish Blake
Posted on July 3, 2020 at 12:40 pm / 0

Attendees raved about our 3rd Annual unConference: “I loved it. Seamlessly presented.” “Great quality content, organized, breaks, non-DR related content (yoga, cooking)!” With the rapid COVID-19 shutdown in March FDRIO planned to postpone the bi-annual unConference event planned for May 5th until September 2020. But feeling the emptiness left by this postponement, FDRIO quickly decided to embrace the new virtual world of conferences. And keeping with the spirit of the unconventional format of the unConference, we moved to a fully virtual full-day format. And so on June 2nd, 2020, FDRIO hosted 85 participants and over 20 presenters from across Canada…
