In the months before I married my husband, I worked for a "family law" firm. Their specialty -- divorce cases which included child molestation accusation. Humph. So much for "family law."
When I would type up the pleadings I found myself wondering, "what would I do in this situation?" I quit a few weeks later.
One thing I learned is that a divorce is a form of death. Something dies in a relationship -- its got to be grieved before moving on. I felt terrible for those kids who were torn apart, because custody never lets you put it behind you.
I hope nothing but the best for Rush and Marta, BOTH of them. They've got enough to pick up without outsiders throwing darts.
Funny you should mention that.
I work in the justice system, and judges I know say that 15-20 years ago you almost NEVER saw a false accusation of child molestation in connection with a divorce. Now it seems like every doggone divorce case has the ex-wife-to-be raising molestation allegations almost as a matter of course. It's to the point that even the expert witnesses for the State in criminal trials are testifying that an acrimonious divorce is one of the 'markers' for false accusations.
Like the accusations of "date rape", this sort of accusation just makes it that much more difficult for the kids who really are victims . . . and harder for the justice system to sort out the actual criminals.
