After going through an onerous and expensive court battle seeking to prevent his children from being moved far away, only to fail in the end, Winnipeg father Frank Mane describes his experience with Canada’s family law system as “absolute hell.”

Mane and his wife split up following 14 years of marriage after his wife had an affair with her boss. They co-parented their son and daughter for two years, but then the mother and stepfather initiated a legal action to move the children to Seattle where the stepfather is from.
