While domestic violence is a serious problem, and there is certainly a need for a safe places for its victims to go, false allegations of domestic violence and other abuse in divorce litigation is commonplace. False allegations don't result in black eyes and broken limbs, but they do destroy the lives of their victims. Children - yes, children - are the ones who suffer the most in divorces where false allegations have been lodged. Sadly, the archaic views of judges and the financial incentive for lawyers make it very easy for false allegations to take hold and dominate litigation in divorce. Even more sad is the fact that the sexism inherent in our society makes it much easier for women to make allegations against men. I think the critics of Mr. Dickinson's comments should direct their anger at the judges, lawyers, psychologists, etc., who perpetuate a process that destroys lives and harms children. The victims of false allegations in divorce are a growing voice in the fabric of American family life. I encourage those who are offended by Mr. Dickinson's comments to understand that false allegations of domestic violence are real, common, and are corroding the integrity of our family structure and our courts of law.

I am happy to hear a politician have the courage to stand up to emotionally charged groups.
