Abolish Family Court
We need to abolish the family court system and establish a family agency that helps to solve family problems. We need to stop treating non-violent family matters in a criminal court setting. We need panels of experts to help solve family issues not a judge who can destroy one spouse while favoring another. We need to stop the dissipation of family assets to pay attorneys who prolong the litigation in their own self interest.
Why is this important?
We've been conditioned to think we need a barracuda to fight for distribution of assets and custody, but there's a better way: a family agency with a panel of experts working together to devise the best plan for the family. Husbands and wives don't need to be pitted against each other in a divorce. They just think they do because that's the dumb system. That system can be changed and so can your mindset.
As an attorney, I am witness to the destructive nature of the family and domestic relations courts which treat family matters as if they were criminal proceedings. Violence should be handled in a criminal court, divorce and custody should not.
