The problem is that yes, judges know exactly what they're doing but no, the average person on the street is not going to believe what is going on. It is easier for the average person to believe that judges must not be trained and that's why they're making such horrific decisions rather than the truth which is much more sinister yet much harder to comprehend. It took me years to finally internalize the fact that the family court judge I was involved with wasn't just making mistakes but was intentionally causing harm.

Yes, that's the biggest problem that nobody can believe judges are deliberately switching custody to abusive and self-serving fathers. We Sisters in Solidarity are trying to educate mothers and the public about this.

Yes, judges know exactly what they are doing and do not need any training at the taxpayers expense. Family Court must be abolished. Now if we could halt the Title IV incentives, which contribute to the judges pensions…..

Sorry but halting Title IV incentives will make no difference because that is not why the crisis is happening. Incentives or not, judges can and will still lie. Judges cannot be deciding custody of our children.

That is precisely why the crisis is happening. It’s all about the money.

But it is not about all about the money. Money is just the fuel on the fire. It's about the power men--with the aid of judges--have to take our kids and the power women do not have to keep or protect them.

Money is the reward for going along with the agenda to keep men entitled after divorce.
