As to whether that initial bias assumption is correct is another matter that I would not even attempt to engage with.

Anyone involved in the system knows that decisions are mostly the very opposite of whats in the best interests of the children.
Courts and judges do all they can to turn a blind eye to fathers while giving almost anything and everything to mothers.
I would know.
Been before 3 different judges in 2 family court matters.
I was the applicant in both cases.
I didn't get even close to half of what I requested each and every time.
Yet, the mother was freely offered near double by the judge, or the judge openly asked what she wanted - and what was asked for was instantly granted.
No looking at the documents, no asking me my opinion, nothing.
Can you imagine that for just a second?
I can say a lot more but there is a pending matter before the courts that also involves a high level police investigation.
Just pray that for once justice prevails.
There is an innocent 12 month old that desperately needs justice to prevail - because it's in her bests interests.
