As previously stated, the thoughts, wishes, desires and most importantly, what is best for the children, is testified to by an expert who has interviewed the children. Therefore, what the children say, particularly if the children are mature, is relevant and considered. Once again, there are no absolutes concerning the weight given evidence from children able to participate. Concerning the age in which children's preferences are considered, in California once they reach age 6, they become part of the process via an expert.

The thing with the children becoming part of the process via an expect is not a key to success at all - means nothing if it is not done with a fair agenda

Sweden was considered one of the leading countries in implementing that. Social services has been involved in divorces with underage children for more than 40 years in Sweden - The children were really part of the process via experts... But the 70s and 80s and most of the 90s were still marred by decisions that were heavily biased in favour of the mother, regardless of if the father was more suitable, regardless of if the children wanted to be with the father

You are certainly correct about that - if there is bias in the court system, nothing will help. It is not present in all jurisdictions, but it is present in many. Bottom line, it has no place in the law - but now I'm dreaming.

Yes, I was shocked at how much bias I found in the family law judicial system of Canada. I think it is actually worse in more developed nations.

And I note on the U.N. website a lot of job offers and NGO' s forming to support women's rights and support for mothers. Nothing forming to help men and Fathers. So I gues it won't be long before Thailand has gone the same way.

But discussion is getting off topic. If I come to Thailand can I get my children bac?. And if I can get my rights under Thai law how do I go about it?

Depends on your evidence: If you have very good evidence, like you record when your children call you and cry and say that they want to be with you, and also very important, they also say that mummy doesn't allow them to talk to you, then a Thai court system will act and protect the childrens interest (not your the fathers interest, the childrens interest). You stand a good chance of getting the majority of the time - in Thailand. But not take them back to Canada if the mother veto it. You can get a Thai court order specifying 3,100 to 4,000 bath per month and child in child alimony. You should be able use it to modify the payments you have in Canada

And if you don't wait for too long - Juvenile courts will not take decisions based on old information

Once again - your children will decide the outcome in a Thai court, don't wait too long
