Did anybody see this yet?

The local review made it sound like it was mainly critical of the courts.

I haven't seen it. But the real culprit is no-fault divorce. It creates a false sense of moral equivalence between lying, cheating spouses and the ones who try to uphold the marriage. The injustice of having to bend over backwards to accommodate the demands of the cheating spouse and his/her new partner when the the dumpee and the children have just been offloaded leads to terrible acrimony.

The courts then make it worse by punishing the "wronged" spouse for bringing up "fault" in a "no-fault" divorce, spending ten minutes from the bench making a snap judgment about the one who must raise the kids on a paltry $200 support award, or fork them over to the cheater and new honey.

The entire thing gets decided based on who has the most money to pay lawyers to destroy the other spouse, and it usually ain't the one who spent time on raising the kids.

Don't bother asking that question. I asked it on another thread a half hour ago and got no response. The posse has mounted up and rode out of town.
