Nailed it. Family Court Fiasco "Judge Thomas Moukawsher has admitted that Connecticut Family Court is corrupt as all hell, a stinking cesspool that exists only to serve bottom-feeding lawyers and mental health therapists who plunder parents’ assets in custody disputes. "

More quotes from the article:

Bottom line: Whenever possible give primary custody of the children to the worse parent and the better parent will fight to protect the child.

Do not ever settle conflicts quickly or you will piss off everyone in the racket.

Please the one who referred you to the case; they know how to keep the conflict going.

Most of the time, if there is money involved, and there is a protective parent and an abuser, the child is given to the abuser for this ensures the protective parent will keep on fighting and continue the billing cycle for the GAL, the attorneys and the mental health experts.

It goes on and on. So many know this is happening, yet we are all inept at beginning to even know where to start. We need mass organization. Anyone have any ideas? Other than: "this is just how it is, deal with it and suck it up."
