Publisher's Synopsis
Patriarchs, profiteers and special interests have turned family court into an unequal environment - one that works for litigious abusers - and not for the targets of abuse. In this first edition you will learn: - Domestic violence is not a feminist movement. - Judicial rulings adhere to an administrative mandate. - For-profit appointees prey on abuse to generate unrestrained fees. - Family systems therapy has roots in patriarchy and male superiority. - The myth of fatherlessness is a cover for custody outcomes favoring higher income males. This book challenges perceptions about government and family when maltreatment exists.
