Author Lucien Khodeir Publishes Two eBooks Then Alerts Every Senator and Every Elected Representative in Canada of the Deficiencies of Canada’s Child-Support Guidelines
Khodeir cautions: “Since May 1997, Canada’s child-support guidelines have been responsible for causing damages to 340,000 divorced parents at the alarming rate of $100 million every month. Those damages will reach the $20 billion mark by the end of 2013 and undoubtedly classify Canada’s child-support guidelines as the longest-running most expensive scandal in the history of Canadian politics.”
Toronto, Canada, October 08, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Two identical cases go before two different judges. One judge orders a $100 payment while the other judge orders a $400 payment. Which judge erred? You decide.
Tom’s parents earn the same income. His dad spends $500 on him while his mom spends $700 on him. The judge orders his dad to pay $100 in child support. After the payment, his parents would have each spent $600 on him.
Ana’s parents earn the same income. Her mom spends $500 on her while her dad spends $700 on her. Projecting that her dad would spend $800 on her if she never visited her mom, the judge orders her mom to pay half of $800 in child support. After the payment, her mom would have spent $900 on her while her dad would have spent $300 on her.
“If you favour the child support of $100, then you do not support Canada’s child-support guidelines in force since May 1997. Tom’s case illustrates a court order on child support before May 1997 while Ana’s case illustrates a court order on child support since May 1997,” says Lucien Khodeir.
A resident of the province of Ontario in Canada, Khodeir self-published two books critical of Canada’s child-support guidelines: one in 2008 titled “Children with 2 homes” and one in 2009 titled “ultra vires;” then translated both books into French and launched a self-designed bilingual web site to promote the books; and “is probably one of the most knowledgeable people in Canada on [Canada’s child-support guidelines],” said Gene C. Colman, a reputable Family-Law attorney in Toronto, in the foreword of “Children with 2 homes.”
Khodeir explains: “Canada’s federal law on divorce clearly spells out how child-support guidelines should be drafted in Canada. Two such drafts were attempted: Québec’s child-support guidelines and Canada’s child-support guidelines. Québec’s child-support guidelines comply with Canada’s federal law on divorce while Canada’s child-support guidelines do not because they discriminate against two identifiable groups of divorced parents: the child-support-paying parents and the higher-income-earning parents. The discrimination is unquestionably not authorized by Canada’s federal law on divorce. A child support calculated according to Canada’s child-support guidelines is almost always greater than (and, at times, more than double) a child support calculated according to Québec’s child-support guidelines.”
Relying on publications by federal departments, Khodeir estimates: “340,000 divorced parents pay $190 million every month in support (allegedly for the child) according to Canada’s child-support guidelines out of which $100 million every month is above what may reasonably be considered to be a fair amount of child support. The unfair content of the alleged child support paid according to Canada’s child-support guidelines will reach the $20 billion mark by the end of 2013. The damages caused to 340,000 divorced parents by Canada’s child-support guidelines may easily surpass damages from the largest class action in Canada and classify Canada’s child-support guidelines as the longest-running most expensive scandal in the history of Canadian politics.”
If the injustice of Canada’s child-support guidelines offends you, then email your indignation to the Prime Minister of Canada, the Right Honourable Stephen Harper, at pm@pm.gc.ca, and also to both of your elected representatives if you are a Canadian resident.
On September 28, 2012, Khodeir published two ebooks in support of a 55-page letter emailed to the person who established Canada’s child-support guidelines to urge him to rectify their deficiencies. The letter is available online at: http://www.childrenwith2homes.ca/plea.html.
On September 29, 2012, Khodeir issued a press release to announce the mailing of the 55-page letter and the publication of the two ebooks. The press release is available online at: http://www.pr.com/press-release/444560.
Following the press release, Khodeir, by way of email, brought the 55-page letter and the above press release to the attention of every senator and every elected representative in Canada’s federal Parliament, and to the attention of every elected representative in the Legislative Assembly of each of Canada’s ten provinces and three territories.
