There should be two litigants in the courtroom with their attorneys, if they have them... and the ruling of a judge on the evidence who knows the law. The 3rd party appointees are the problem in family court.

A divorce is the renegotiation of the marriage contract, division of property, time with the children and support. Those are business matters based on the roles of each parent, their relative incomes and thier individual and marital financial holdings. These are business transactions regarding disclosures of money trails and math, tax returns, bank accounts and investments. Take it to the civil courts.

Family Law Courts have become hiring agents too often for third parties hacks as they rob generations of wealth from families. I know grandparents who mortgaged their homes to pay Guardians Ad Litem, Evaluators and therapists. Judges should not relinquish their judicial authority to unregulated, cash only "therapeutic experts" on court lists. We have asked court administrators if they are responsible for the harm the contractors on their court lists do to children and families? That would be a, "No."

If one of the parties, breaks court orders, severly neglects, batters, rapes or murders their ex and or the children, that's a matter for the police and the criminal courts, not therapists.

Getting rid of appointees like GALs would be a huge step to fixing the system.

These third parties have ruined the process. It benefits them to churn cases for billable hours. If they get a three year old in their clutches...the case could go on for 15 years or until both parents and their family members have nothing left but lint in their pockets. These hacks are destroying the minds of children...it is really that bad. To force a child that has disclosed rape and automatically cast blame on the parent attempting to protect....is mind boggling and criminal.

https://michaelvolpe.substack.com/p/time-to-take-down-the-entire-system that's why I proposed the Elaine Pudlowski Act to eliminate all court appointees.

It's another case of children being placed in the care of their abusers, which is all too common Michael.
