EDWARD E. BOWES, LL.B. LL.M.
Barrister & Sol icitor
Preferred Areas of Practice: Family-Matrimonial Law & Personal Injury Law
When facing the legal issues of family breakdown or personal injury you
need someone with life experience as well as legal experience.
I have been practicing law in these areas for 33+ years and I perform all services
personally without shifting your file to a junior.
Pre-Nuptial Agreements - some comments:
There are many good reasons for obtaining a pre-nuptial agreement. This is especially so if you are a parent and you have significant assets you may want to share with your children after they are married. Many parents want to ensure their assets remain "in the family" even in the event of a subsequent divorce.
Without a properly drawn pre-nuptial agreement, any assets transferred to a son or daughter risk becoming "family assets" which will be subject to division upon separation or divorce. Given the rate of marriage failures today, this is something every parent will want to consider.
If you are considering marriage and you or your fiancée have significant assets (and/or children from a previous relationship) then a pre-nuptial agreement may be crucial for preserving a separation of those assets and/or the financial security of your children from any previous relationship

'Deadbolt dads' disenfranchised by bad laws
, in www.canadianchristianity.com/ bc/bccn/1107/16deadbolt.html [cited 2009.02]
[Excerpt sample]
" ... OUR culture coined the term "deadbeat dad", a pejorative for fathers who fail to pay child support. Recently, a new phrase has joined our lexicon, as the plight of "deadbolt dads" has emerged as a critical issue.
A deadbolt dad is a biological father who is precluded from exercising his paternal role because the mother of his child has chosen not to notify him of the birth of his child, and has declined to acknowledge him as the birth father on the child's birth registration form.
The emergence of this phenomenon is due in part to increased rates of birth to unmarried women; however, there is very little accessible data on the number of births which are registered without a father designation.
Rubber stamp
Another unknown father played his anonymous role in New Westminster's Supreme Court several weeks ago. In the case of Adoption Act and Male Child B.C. Birth Registration Number 06-014023, childless parents who wished to adopt an infant male filed the requisite documents in the court.
They expected the usual judicial rubber stamp, without a court hearing (which regularly follows once the criteria set out in B.C.'s Adoption Act have been met).
However, Master Caldwell of the Supreme Court paused, reflected on the law and said No - in an articulate analysis of law and policy concerning the rights of fathers to be notified of the proposed adoption of their biological child.
The Master - a Supreme Court judicial officer similar to a Provincial Court Judge - held that the concept of notice and the transparency of court proceedings are central to our system of justice in Canada.
In his view, the lack of notice to the childs father and the behind closed doors decision-making permitted by court practice was flawed. Master Caldwell affirmed a citizens right to be heard before his liberty, property rights or family rights are disposed of by judicial proceedings.
He declared that these tenets of law represented the foundation of Canadian jurisprudence, and boldly stated:
When the legislature enacts in clear and explicit terms that persons may be deprived of their liberty or property or family rights without notice and without the right to be heard, the courts will no doubt faithfully carry out such enactments. If that time should come, the courts will probably be mere instruments of the government and not courts of justice as we understand them - and the constitutional rights of the subject will be gone.
Well, friends, that day has arrived. On the adoptive parents appeal to a justice of the Supreme Court, the appellate judge found that the Adoption Act [emphasis added] clearly articulates the persons from whom consent to a proposed adoption must be obtained. A birth father who has no knowledge of the birth of his child and who has not been declared by the birth mother as the childs biological father on the birth registration form need not be notified that he has fathered a child, as his consent is not necessary. ...... [article continues] "

"Who is your family? A spouse or common-law partner you met online? An orphan you adopted overseas? The parents that supported you for years? Family reunification is a key goal of Canadas immigration policy. Under current immigration laws, you can sponsor your spouse, common-law or conjugal partner, and dependent children to become permanent residents. Programs for sponsoring your parents or grandparents are currently frozen.
Family is important to Lowe & Company and so we understand your concerns. We can help you bring your family home." [2012.10]
