Family Court

I was intent on listening to all of Asunder this morning, but I forgot about it until it was well after 9:30 am. Still, I got the summary of this Family Court episode. Here it is, and it's imporant,

Family Court is . . .

1. Expensive.
2. Adversarial - it promotes toxic relationships in the form of poisonous affidavits which become part of the public record and can never be withdrawn.
3. Unpredictable - sometimes children are taken away from their parents altogether!
4. Slow - it can take many months or years to process.
5. Ineffective - It doesn't remedy asshole behaviour. There is "no law against being an asshole" so bad behaviour, the type my ex displays, cannot be addressed.
