Charade they call family court

By Eileen F. M. Lalonde

I would like to see an article series or at least quest into the local, and state family court systems. Something must be done and fast. The courtrooms are packed like cattle awaiting slaughter, which is what the system does to you if you've got no legal help. The people affected most are domestic violence survivors and children. Hypocritical judges skim your case in minutes and one grumpy tired old man decides the fate of your kids, w/o regard to your evidence, your history or anything reasonable. It's a game of power and money. If you go in pro se, they laugh at you, berate you and rip your life from you. Maybe media attention can help. Please?
