Chapter4

Janet sat down on the black leather chair in her lawyer’s elegantly decorated office. Paintings of flowers and stylized animals graced the walls. A small black coffee table sat between the two black chairs.

A small, wizened elderly Japanese woman in a sharp red business suit entered from the kitchen area with some little cups and a pot of steaming hot tea. She placed the tea pot on the coffee table and poured some for Janet.

Well, your soon to be ex-husband refuses to give any ground with his demands. He is being extremely unreasonable. His fourth lawyer is trying to sway him away from this course of action, like the other three did, but he’s having none of it. Pretty soon he will be without representation. That will be good for us.

“That is good news, I guess, Mrs. Oe, but what if the judge still rules in his favor?” she asked.

Mrs. Oe looked over her glasses at Janet,

He won’t. We have a decent compromise in place. Twenty five percent of the marital assets, you keep the marital debt and one thousand dollars a month spousal support, with conditions he searches for gainful employment. He will need to provide a job search diary on a monthly basis, as he does with the welfare office.

Mrs. Oe was one tough woman. When she was a little child, after the attack on the US base in Pearl Harbour, her family was rounded up and placed in one of the internment camps in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. She didn’t recall the name of the camp; she just recalled the abject inhumane conditions. She was the only child of both her Japanese born parents who came to Canada to flee the totalitarian Japanese government at the time.

Her parents were both professors at a prestigious university, and free thinkers. They spoke out in opposition against the Imperial policies, and therefore, were marked for death. Her mother, heavily pregnant with her at the time, and father both managed to flee to Canada aboard a Korean merchant ship. It was a long and arduous two week trip across the Pacific Ocean. When they finally made it, Canada welcomed them with open arms, and set her father up with a teaching job at the University of British Columbia’s humanities department.

In her mid-seventies, Kotori Oe, was still an active and vibrant woman. Because of her time in the internment camp, she vowed to never allow the same injustice to happen to others. She went to law school and graduated at the top of her class. At first, she was a civil rights attorney.

She fought the Canadian government tooth and nail, until they finally ratified the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. She then retired from the civil rights spotlight and opened up a family law practice.

“Yes, I like that agreement. It’s not leaving him out in the cold, which I’d love to do, but it’s not leaving me totally screwed, either.” Janet replied.

“I just want this finished. He’s been dragging it out for months.
