It is accepted, even by those who work within it, that Ontario’s family law system is utterly broken. A few lawyers, leading among them the law professor and reformer Omar Ha-Redeye, are trying to change it. Sorry @kinsellawarren, nobody ever wins in family law. Canadian Lawyer magazine’s 2015 survey on legal fees, Ha-Redeye wrote, shows that the national average estimated cost for a two-day trial is now more than $30,000. “Disputes often involve economically and emotionally vulnerable litigants, their volatile relationships, and their children,” Ha-Redeye wrote.
