An 18 Year old’s Custody Battle Over Brothers due to Parents’ Divorce

An unnamed 18-year old Mississauga resident has entered a custody with his parents for full custody over his two brothers, ages 12 and 14.

The Toronto Star reported earlier this week that the young man is planning on taking his brothers away from the ” insanity” that has plagued his parents’ divorce proceedings, saying that his brothers are better off living with him on welfare with some subsidies from their parents than to remain in the toxic environment they’ve grown up in.

What has transpired over the course of the last few years sounds like an Orwellian novel.  The divorce proceedings that were involved in this case included  court-sanctioned “deprogramming” for the two young boys, who their mother claimed were being “brainwashed” against her by their father.

The lengths some people will go to hurt others during contested divorce proceedings can be a painful reminder that when you separate from your spouse,  there are others who often get harmed emotionally.  It is therefore important to involve a Family lawyer who understands not only the technical family law issues in divorce matters but also takes into account all parties, immediate and extended family included.
