Legal Domestic Abuse

Share Your Story: Were You Treated Unfairly by the Family Court System?

From socialjustice

Did your attorney make mistakes during your divorce?

In my opinion, my attorney didn't make any mistakes. What he did do was planned an intentional harms toward me by dragging out the divorce proceedings so he and opposing counsel could reap the marital assets. Since my ex-spouse did not want the divorce, he played into the unethical attorney's ploy!

Were you the victim of an unethical judge?

My former attorney made sure I never made it into a courtroom with the documentation of securities fraud, tax fraud, and spousal abuse and terroristic threats I suffered at the hands of my abusive husband. There is no money to make for unethical attorneys if they solve the problems of your divorce by holding your ex in contempt of court.

Most soon to be, ex-spouses would quit their abusive behavior toward you if your attorney would file the motions. However, that would solve the problem. Family courts are a money making machines. Research the topic; the information is out there about this destructive system...

What needs to change in the Family Court System?

Changing the system is going to take many years to accomplish. Especially when we live in a patriarchal society that still treats women as second class citizens. That is most prevalent problem in the Family Court system.

If you are married to an abusive man and he retains an unethical, aggressive woman-hating attorney, you will be engaged in pathological warfare indefinitely. You will lose your children, your home, your life savings, and possibly your life. Do search about 'Legal Domestic Abuse' and find out what has happened to many women throughout the United States, Canada, and the world really.

Scientific researchers are collecting data on how women suffering from domestic abuse are losing their children to ex-spouses in Family Courts even though they have physically and sexually abused their children!

Judges are allowing abusive men custody when there is documented proof of allegations of criminal sexual abuse and threats to kill the children. Many mothers’ hands are tied because judges give full custody to abusers; removing the ability for mothers’ to protect their children from being killed by their ex-spouses. There are documented cases about how unethical attorneys and judges have allowed this and fathers with a grudge have murdered their children.

Nothing will change until severe penalties are handed down to judges and attorneys for their unethical participation in the murder of innocent children and women. I think it's time to hold those in power accountable for using Family Courts to re-victimize women and children who have already been through hell by sucking the last few drops of blood from them because of their greed for money and power! Hold those in power to the laws they have created. When we do this, then children and women will not be dying at the hands of their abusers!

Lessons Learned

  • Learn your State Laws. I was ignorant to the abuses that went on in Family Court. You had better advocate for yourself and learn all you can about law, unethical attorneys, and judges. They use your love (emotion) for your children against you!
  • If you are an abused spouse subject to an abusive partner, (yes there are many good men/fathers out there who are put through the wringer who have left abusive women), expect the abuse to accelerate.
  • Choose your attorney well because if you have any measurable value in property and assets, the attorney's will take most if not all of by milking the system.
