"Blind Justice"
Justice
today has gone into seclusion -- actually, it's a like being in denial (or at
very least, something that resembles a poignant contradiction).
Understanding
this was easy… "I once sat with a Family Law professor listening
attentively (the speaker here is herself a Juris Doctor whose name will
not be disclosed. -ed.), only to hear him affirm with a nod, that Family Court
is all about 'money and power' -- for no one 'really' looks at a child's best
interests!"
So, it's
go with the flow, go with the status quo... (it's do whatever is easiest for
'expediency').
To get to the point, I'm sure you've
noticed that 'they' (the honorable Court Commissioner, the Ad Litem Attorney,
the Social Worker, and the opposing Attorney) would rather leave something
stupid and awkward in place, rather than look at a sensible suggestions (about
anything).
If there have been serious problems -- it
takes so long to get into court... that the 'immature parent' can always do
last-minute 'rug-jerking' -- leaving you (the other parent) on your ass.
Can you
point out that 'she / he' violated a court order? Sure, but it's all after the
fact, and lawyers will encourage the sensible parent to 'calm down' (... like
you have to be the one to bend over, because you want things to be calm in the
life of your child). So, OKAY -- you may well know that verbal poisoning is
going on, but how do you prove it?
Each
next cycle (in and out of court), you'll get the impression that these legal
'professionals' are 'D.W.I. at the wheel' ('driving while blind'), and no one
in a position of power (to help) seems to 'really' listen. Big yawn -- 'they'
just want to go home to their own lives. 'Cause hell, it's also easier to turn
a blind eye and a deaf ear to what's going on in your child's life -- as long
as the appearances are good (for 'them').
And whether you like it or not, this has
been another edition of… the Truth!
