The facts in my case were more complex than usual. My case was taken by Mr. Colman in a creative and skilled manner ensuring that the other party was forced to respond, and accept that there was a case to be answered.

Advocacy Inside And Outside The Courtroom

As a proud father of seven children, and grandfather to many, and with over 44 years of family law experience, he understands the special bonds children have with each parent. He advocates that both dads and moms should be able to parent their children. Unless a child is in danger of harm, he believes that every child has the right to enjoy a loving relationship with each parent.

Gene C. Colman has been very active within the movement to change federal parenting laws in favour of equal parenting principles. Along with several other advocates, he worked tirelessly towards securing an amendment to federal Bill C-78, so that the revised Divorce Act might have included a rebuttable presumption for equal shared parenting. Alas, the entrenched powers strongly resisted the movement for sensitive law reform that would have likely improved the lives of Canadian children and their parents. Still, the movement for reform continues. Read more about Colman’s law reform work here.
