Meet Ontario Chief Justice, Warren Winkler
He is the person who overseas the Family Courts in Ontario
He has some strong words about Family Justice System
You will be shocked to hear what he has to say….

4. A State of Crisis
“family law is in a state of crisis.
We see a system in disarray –
one that is beyond tinkering and
that needs to be rebuilt from the
bottom up using new concepts
and fresh ideas. In short, we see
a need for fundamental change.”
According to Ontario Chief Justice
Warren Winkler

5. “a new approach is required”
∗ Here is Chief Justice Winkler at work
as a mediator,
∗ He tells the Toronto Star
“he questions the value of continuing
to “fine tune” the existing system
[family court] and believes a new
approach is required”

6. “the time has come”
∗ Chief Justice Winkler is also
quoted in the media saying…
“I think the time has come for a
fresh conceptual approach to
resolution of family disputes
in Ontario”

7. costly, time-consuming,
adversarial, acrimonious
∗ Why does he not do
anything to fix this badly
broken system, that is
destroying people’s lives
? And making the
insiders rich !
Again he tells the media that family court is “costly, timeconsuming, adversarial and sometimes acrimonious”

8. bankrupts litigants, routinely
ignores interests of children.
∗ In 2010 we had the release of the Law Commission of
Ontario in-depth report on the family law system and
the report deplores a system that can bankrupt
litigants and routinely ignores the wishes and
interests of children.
