The Family Maintenance Enforcement Act is an example of what is sometimes referred to as "social legislation". It is designed to address the evil of widespread default in payments required to be made by family maintenance payment orders. In essence it makes available to persons entitled to maintenance payments the power and the resources of the state to enforce payment and thereby alleviate the distress which is the frequent consequence of non-payment.
The FMEP is presently run by Themis Program Management and Consulting Ltd. under contract with the Province of British Columbia. Themis (we believe) is one subsiduary of Maximus, an outsourcing company that provides Government with various services including Health Care, Consulting, Investigations and Compliance, and services for Children & Families.
"Since 1988, Themis has helped parents to meet their child support obligations. Our British Columbia-based subsidiary operates child support programs to ensure that maintenance payments are paid on time and children and families across the province receive the necessary resources to improve their lives." - Maximus - Child Support CanadaBC FMEP Review is a group of Citizens concerned by deficiencies in the Family Maintenance Enforcement Act, its Regulations, and the Family Maintenance Enforcement Program. Anecdotal evidence suggests that alienated payees misuse the resources of the FMEP in order to attack payors. We are concerned such misuse, and limited mandate may in fact be detrimental to Family Justice and Children's and Parent's emotional well being.
BC FMEP Review was created in order to document the FMEA and FMEP, to gather information about the effectiveness of current enforcement methods, and to investigate ways for which the FMEP can better serve both payors and payees.

MEP & FMEP are crooks they charge big interest on arrears and keep it for them selves they are the worst people to deal with and they stand up for mean moms who keep children from good dads, MEP & FMEP are paid by tax payers and they steal from paying dads.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree I have full these people need to be stopped. There enforcement officers are violating your privacy by accessing your personal medical services plan information to track people. Conveniently FMEP have the contract for BC medical easy way to find people because every person in BC must have medical coverage. A serious violation of one's privacy which I'm following up with the privacy commission and BC Obmusman. Office.
DeleteThe media will be involved very soon to expose this be government contractor violating individuals privacy.
Together fathers like us who have fought for our kids, considered to be awesome fathers are suffering because of these criminals.
The power of unity is much stronger than just one voice if anyone is interested in joining possible class action lawsuit with mejor media attention feel free to provide your contact information.
There are families being destroyed by these criminals unjustifiedly the BC government needs to know of their unethical conduct and cancel there contract with the government.
Themis Maximus is nothing more than a glorified collection agency with aces to your personal government files. Why these so call officers aka collectors are breaching many privacy laws with no implications .
If you are really interested to know just how corrupt FMEP and BC Government be it Liberal or NDP ... this link will be a real eye opener. http://themisfmep.blogspot.ca/
DeleteThis illegal fraudulent business practice FMEP needs to be shut down. Increase child tax to make up for it.
DeleteIt is time to STOP these prehistoric rituals from the FMEP and the enabling courts who are in collusion with these scum bags.
ReplyDeleteThe so called lawyers for FMEP are breaching more than privacy laws, they are in breach of all the particulars in the Charter of Rights, and Canadian criminal code when they harm another human being for the purpose of personal gain and use the corruption of the courts to do so.
Time to get an organization together with fathers who have been through the inhumane treatment of these people, and we need to go to the media and make public the statistics world wide about the corruption, the engagement of Charter and Criminal code breaches and the suicide rate in family court.
People are worried are worried about their loved ones going to war, being hit by a drunk driver, some rapist assaulting your son or daughter, home invasions, and everything else we hear int he media when a life is lost, but you never hear about fathers wanting to see their children and paying huge extortion money which leads them to only solution they think may stop their PAIN... SUICIDE.
There is a loss of life and living condition associated with the family courts, but it never gets talked about, only because the label has been put out there that you should support your children, but the only thing that gets published is fathers not paying ... Nothing said about fathers not being able to see their children.
The stigma associated from the media, family courts and despicable Mothers who only think of families in a monetary sense is instilled in peoples minds all over the world. When did families become all about MONEY ?
Oh let me guess, when the courts, lawyers and the scumbag Corporations associated or affiliated with these scumbags thought of a ways to make MONEY at the expense of the enslaved Father, thats when.
The stigma associated with Family Law has to be broken down, and people need to realize that this is all made up by the corporations extorting money from people. A Dad who loves his children but cannot afford to run 2 households is NOT a Deadbeat, a Father who wants to see his children but misses payments because he cannot make ends meet is NOT a Deadbeat, a Father who has always been a Father and has been loved by his children is now labeled a VISITOR or Deadbeat ? This is morally wrong along with other social distorted opinions of people who do not matter who categorize our social lives and behaviors into a box, and then create laws around this labeled box for person and corporate gain need to be stopped.
Pretty soon you cannot fart in public because there will be a law for that, offensive odour causes others to squirm.. Get over it people, we need to work together to better our lives, not have more laws and scumbag lawyers telling us how to live our lives and where to spend our money, and what we can or cannot say to one another.
If we do not have the respect for one another to get along and help one another and need courts and governments to tell us how to behave and what we can and cannot do, then we are in serious trouble.
Laws should be simple, do not harm, do not kill, respect others, and so on.. KISS
Peace
Hello All, My story is I am a scientist and expect you should be able to view my profile on FB or on LinkedIn. I work in the field of mass spectrometry and am self taught. We returned home back to Canada on January 20th of this year the same day that Donald Trump took office. Coming home has not been easy in many ways. From getting back on medical .. drivers license to finding out our SIN number is dormant .. we are smal business owners and spent a huge amount of money to come home ( well the corporation has spent a ton ) Getting the business running in Canada has not been easy and we were just about to see things turn around then came the fires in 100 mile house .. that hit just one week after my father passed away .. we were chased out of our humble home in July 7th .. threw our belongings in our Refer .. and food, clothes, computers, special objects .. two cats and our two puppies and ran for our lives as the fire storm right at our heals .. never have I been so terrified and we went to our safe piece of land well within view of 100 mile. This is difficult to type. That evening we received a text from our landlord saying we have been burnt out. " It cant be true " .. I cried my self to sleep .. being woke @ 5am from my texts from my frantic sister .. waking I reflected what had happened that night .. over and over vocally saying ' it cant be true " and I broke and sobbed for days realizing that we have lost all of my scientific gear .. our lives .. everything we had dear to us. .. 78 days we lived in our trailer as evacuees .. so much to tell .. living on handouts from new friends .. ESS and the Red Cross .. and being harrased by FMEP to pay child support for 2 adults .. we have barely enough to get by and the Ministry of Justice are pushing us to pay even though they know we are living on Red Cross money please help if you can
