Stay married. It may be more expensive, but it does save money on divorce. Marriage is not just heavy dating. The promises made were until death do you part. If you can't walk the walk, don't talk the talk.

Thanks Bonnie- I hadn't considered that aspect.

Not mentioned in the article? How much the attorneys made.

Largely due to the pr efforts of the court, reporters neither investigate nor report the reality of family court; which is all about litigation, not resolution. Unfortunately, due this lack of coverage litigants still believe family court is about "the best interests of the child" when in fact, that's the marketing mantra for all comers.

As the founder of www.FamilyLawCourts.com what I find most interesting is the public is only just now is discovering the single most intrusive form of government is a family court judge.

But what I find even more curious is that the reality of the busiest court in the country, the reality of one court most used most often and for the longest period of time, is it is largely ignored by media who content with their own bias and misconceptions based on preconceptions, is that family court is a "he said - she said."

Family Court promotes perjury and is always about more conflict. Judges act more like marketing reps for all comers, expressly ignoring the wishes of the very children who would like to speak. Why? (Because clearly, this defies logic) Because listening to a child means the industry would be cut in half. And judges do like business. The business of government is business. This is especially true in family court.
