It's very difficult to get a lawyer to aggressively represent a man in Family Court. I interviewed and used many lawyers over time. Part of the problem is that they run into the same issues the man has, when dealing with the courts. The bias and standard practices favor females immensely. So when representing a man, most lawyers use a damage control / reactive strategy. They tend to accept from day one that their male client will get run over. So their view of success is something like being pleased a car ran over you instead of a truck. Seldom is a proactive fact based approach utilized. When the same lawyers represent a female they are then on the winning side and fall into those patterns. Civil and Criminal courts are much less biased than Family Court.

yes ! Iam married but I committed 20 years ago since then the feminit noose has tightened around men's necks !

the feminits have nailed shut any bolt holes from their star chamber they lovingly refer to as the Family Court

iI would not risk marriage nowadays with what I have experienced and learned about wimyn and the feminit dogma inculcated into their cotton picken brains over the last forty years

gems like Duke Lacrosse and Hofstra and the new age gals penchant for blatant malicious lies totally taken onboard by their feminit legal system with a view to incarcerating the accused men for long terms

I agree with stan about lawyers. This sums up my experience. My lawyer was all for representing me at first, then he got tired after the non stop illogical defense that my wife's lawyer (female too) was allowed to get away with. Eventually my lawyer gave up on me and her lawyer went buckwild and tookover the declarations aspect of the case. My lawyer refused to answer my calls and finally said that responding to declarations was pointless and is only going to cost me money and does nothing. Declarations are a way to write history, and here was my lawyer refusing to respond.

Now it has gone down in herstory that I filed for divorce only because I found out she was going to, which is false. Theres more shit in there that just makes my stomach turn but no response from my side of the court on it because my lawyer stopped telling me when she wrote declarations, he stopped representing me really....and did exactly as stan says "damage control".

Finally, when the divorce was over, the Judge CONGRATULATED my new exwife on the divorce while ignoring me completely. Amazing. I'm afraid of going into the PUBLIC file and seeing everything else that she accused me of in those declarations because I will feel completely and utterly helpless to it. This is history (herstory) written about me. It is there forever. I'm sure she said I raped her, I'm sure she said I beat her and our kids, I'm sure she said I cheated, I'm sure she said I was in it for the money, I'm sure she said I was after her....all lies and twisted facts but guess what? No one sees that. they see a MAN, their definition of a MAN...the evil monster.

She still owes me $2,800 which is in the settlement, and I have not seen a penny of it yet.
