Limits on Questioning in Family Law Cases; Unrepresented Parties Take Note
Limits on Questioning in Family Law Cases; Unrepresented Parties Take Note
The Ontario Superior Court of Justice has recently released a decision outlining limits on Orders under the Family Law Rules allowing the questioning of one party by the other. The decision is particularly noteworthy because it serves as a cautionary tale for those parties to a family law dispute who are self-represented.

2) the information is not easily available by any other method;
3) the questioning will not cause an unacceptable delay or undue expense.

the lies, deceptions cover-ups and unlawful activities that are going on in family courts and inside
court buildings. It is well recognized by many Canadians, including high ranking Canadian
authorities and even some judges, that perjury in family court is rampant and that this crime often
