Canada Family Law Links
Canadian Children’s Rights Council
A non-profit, non-governmental organization that prides itself on providing information about violations of children’s rights in Canada while advocating for the solutions. Check out their “paternity fraud” section. Cutting edge.
Carey Linde
This British Columbia lawyer appears to be particularly sensitive to the concerns of non custodial parents. All too often, we lawyers do not fully appreciate the depth of emotion endured by the non-custodial parent; Carey Linde understands and specializes in assisting such individuals – male and female.
Custody X Change
While this is primarily an American site, I placed it up here with the Canadian sites since Custody X Change has robust Canadian content and the top notch tools to assist with parenting plans and parental communication are universal in application. Tip: Scroll to the bottom of their home page to see their entire offerings. Sure, they want money from you (actually not too much and well worth the cost) but you can try them out for free at first and once you sign up for their more robust paid services, you can cancel at any time. Not a bad deal at all!
Divorcemate
My favourite software provider for all one’s family law needs when it comes to financial statements, support projections, pension estimates of value, etc. etc. etc. These people are on the cutting edge of everything that is new and exciting in family law in Canada today. They even have some time limited trial downloads of their popular software.
Fathers Are Capable Too ( F.A.C.T.)
This is a ‘not for profit men’s rights organization’ with weekly meetings in Toronto. The male perspective on separation and divorce is presented here under the rubric of “gender equality”. This organization advocates the goal of treating both sexes equally in the courts. There is practical advice to dads, Family Responsibility Office and Case history horror stories, and much more. For those dads who are separating or divorcing, this site is worth a visit.
Kids ‘n’ Dad
This is an excellent Kitchener, Ontario based cite providing top notch resources for divorced/separated dads. From their home page: “Kids ‘n’ Dad believes that our responsibility is to work with fathers and families to ensure that a dad’s desire to be a continuing parenting partner post-separation is realized for the short and long term benefit of the whole family.”
Protecting Canadian Children
This site advocates for change within the child welfare system.

This is an outstanding youtube channel. There are tons of videos with the leading researchers and activists in parental alienation and grandparent alienation.
