Op-Ed: The Hypocrisy of Family Law — Why Family Court Should Be Abolished

- by Michael Phillips - Leave a Comment

Certainly not the children. Not the parents. Only the lawyers, the evaluators, the GALs, and the judges padding their pensions. The time has come to stop reforming family court — and start abolishing it.
