Some divorce laws seem to have the goal of being fair on average no matter what happens in many cases. Other laws seem to desire fairness in a few cases while causing unfairness in many more.
In California now, If you don’t understand why there are so many false claims of domestic violence at the beginning of a custody battle you may be in for a world of hurt.
In the case of someone I know, the wife’s notes from a meeting with a prospective attorney included “DVRO=$”
DVRO is Domestic Violence Restraining Order. For 10 months he only saw his kids with 3rd party supervised visitation costing $100 per hour.
