Perhaps if the divorce courts(and child welfare agencies) could get away from the gladiatorial way of deciding child custody then just maybe everyone could feel that they get fair treatment.Maybe solicitors and barristers should be kept out of the equation when the pro's and cons of a childs needs and desires are discussed in court.I wonder how often children get to be actually listened to in court?How many even go to court when their future is being discussed?

I so often feel that despite all the protestations that children and their needs/rights should come first they so often don't,either with the courts or their parents or the child welfare agencies.

Incog.
