I understand more than you will ever know...LOL
I'm a product of family court...my family has been in and out of court from the very first day my parents started getting divorced in 1976 *my father won custody btw*, all through my adolesence. I saw the manipulation both my mother and father pulled...didn't stop there...my mother 11 years after the divorce went back to court to try to get custody of my younger brother when he was 13...my father got ripped off by his lawyer so I went to the SMU law library and filed every paper for him and he represented himself in court and won.
I've spent many days in family court with my mother going through her various divorces...like I said above even filed her petitions for her on her last one.
Spent time in family court trying to protect my nieces from both my sister and brother in law, the last time I was in court was the year before I moved out here, and within months of my moving out here they came to live with me...again.
so yeah I do understand, I know how flawed the system is. But I also know there are so many people who claim they are doing what it takes but are really only half assing it.
