Divorce Corp. is also a must documentary to see. The Family Court racket rakes in over 50 billion a year from families.

What a racket. My ex and I met in a coffee shop and did all the papers ourselves, no lawyers, and we had a kid too. We agreed on stuff, I gave him what he most wanted and he gave me what I most wanted and we have been friends ever since. Our divorce cost around $200.

Wow. Can I ask how you both were able to avoid court? I thought it was impossible to avoid the courts.

Or did you still have to go into family court, it’s just neither of you had lawyers and had worked it all out beforehand?

Family Court is set up to drag the process out and have each side antagonize the other, to maximize court time, attorney fees, and court-appointed experts.

Sad you both split up, but glad neither of you got reamed in Family Court. Your separation is more like how they do it in Europe, where the courts are not set up biased towards either side, are not set up to make money off the couple splitting up, and kids are not used as weapons and stealth alimony.
