Since it is axiomatic that the child benefits from exposure to both parents except in cases of abuse or neglect, NOW's resistance can't come from concern for the child. No, it's about Little Tommy Mealticket. Children represent power over men, power in the form of money (child support) that is extorted from men by the state on women's behalf. THAT is NOW's motivation, nothing nobler.
My wife has successfully stalled for over a year in getting a mental health evaluation with little or now consequences to herself. She still has sole temporary custody of the children even though my PREVIOUS lawyer told me that the court has very little bias anylonger.
Yeah, right. It will take two kids floating face down in the bathtub before anyone takes my concerns seriously. :((
Family court is a joke.
To make a long story short, we got hammered by a judge who promptly decided that, pursuant to the socialist based child support guidelines in New Jersey, that he should not only pay these minor items, but give each kid an additional $ 2,000.00 a year so they wouldn't have to work. The father was honestly just trying to instill some values like hard work, frugality, and personal responsibility and the judge turns around and reinforces the exact opposite behavior.
I left the court room bewildered. I hadn't lost like that in a long time. The court is right by Washington's Headquarters in Northern New Jersey. Outside the court room are portraits of some of the founding fathers and revolutionary war heroes like Nathaniel Greene. I remember thinking to myself, if only these guys had known.
