The New Tort of Domestic Violence With Darlene Rites

<p>In this week’s episode of Divorcing Well, I chat with fellow family law lawyer, Darlene Rites, about the new tort of domestic violence that was found by an Ontario court recently in the case of &nbsp;Ahluwalia v. Ahluwalia, 2022 ONSC 1303 (CanLII), <a href="https://www.canlii.org/en/on/onsc/doc/2022/2022onsc1303/2022onsc1303.html">https://canlii.ca/t/jmpnf</a>.&nbsp;</p> <p>Darlene and I discuss the importance of the Ahluwalia case and the repercussions for victims of domestic violence who want to obtain compensation from their abuser for their years of abuse. &nbsp;Victims finally have a financial remedy that recognizes the damage of domestic violence on a victim. &nbsp;Both Darlene and I are working with victims of abuse who want to make a claim for damages under this new tort. In addition, to practicing family law, Darlene is also a well respected mediator.</p> <p>If you would like to contact Darlene Rites, please visit:<br> <a href="https://fbllp.ca/darlene-rites/">https://fbllp.ca/darlene-rites/</a></p>
