Anything to keep the courts, lawyers, and child support paid.

As others have said, child custody and getting divorced is what maximizes billable hours for the legal profession. Lawyers have a vested interest in making sure families are broken up and people are divorcing. That's why many law firms heavily fund feminist organizations.

Take notice very few people are funding "don't get married" advocacy organizations. Abortion groups get heavily funded but that's only due to funding of feminist organizations.

Ask all politicians to support a rebuttable 50/50 presumption of shared parenting upon divorce. [Canadian Bar Association against this]
Paralegals to be able to practice Family Law so that it can become more affordable to Canadians. The current rate for a Junior Family Lawyer is $300/HR which remains out of reach for most Canadians average salary of $50,000 ($25/hr). [Canadian Bar Association against this]
Clear and Convincing evidence on any allegations being used to limit a parent's access. Currently it’s “Balance of Probabilities” which is the lowest standard of proof. Which basically means, the Judge can look at you and say “Yup, you look like an abuser”.
Limit a Judge's discretion [the freedom to decide what should be done in a particular situation] by improving Family Law Regulations. As it currently stands, Judges make decision without a solid grasp of case law; rather they just pick and choose the parts of Family Law they like to justify their decision rather than a rigorous and factual process.
Reduce Judges retirement age from 75 to 65: Judges have to deal with complicated custody cases which involves hundreds of pages of small details. We need Judges that can balance conflicting evidence and legal arguments. Often times, these are lost on the older judges due to their fragility. Secondly, they bring out-moded ways of thinking.

Its good to see trend of e-filing picking up. Many cases are being filed DIY without lawyers. This should reduce money to the vultures

You’re right, they don’t care about what’s “Best for families.”

They care about what’s best for women.
