The U.S Family Court System Debacle

As a protective mom, I suffered for eleven years in the U.S. Family Court System. In one battle, I lost my rights to my ex - an angry, bitter, wealthy narcissist, who used the most expensive bulldog attorney to attack me - as a way of defending himself. It was a 5-day trial that spanned two years and took three and a half years to get to. The saga was full of motions, pre-trial hearings, and multiple continuance requests. The truth is, I found the family court to be like a game of chess. He moves, you move. You move, he moves. It comes down to strategy and thinking long-term. For example: sometimes you lose a pawn but you protect the queen. Sometimes you lose a knight (inadequate attorney) but save the child. In order to be effective at this high-stakes game of family chess, I had to have adequate representation. Basically, someone seasoned who knew this legal game well.

“We have to think both short-term and long-term.”
