Poor babies. Maybe they should have stayed married.

As opposed to destroying the kids these "decent loving fathers" brought into
the world.

It is the husband and the wife who have the responsibility to "fix troubled
marriages", not some outsider. Quit blaming your failures on someone else
for doing precisely what they are paid to do.

In other words they are making sure that THEIR "businesses and careers are
not destroyed by the oppressive system".

Then maybe the husband and wife, who have the RESPONSIBILITY as adults for
the legal commitment they made in signing that marriage license (and the even
larger one they made in producing progeny), should be going to "Marriage
Savers" rather than lawyers.

It seems completely irrelevant to family court referees and magistrates, who
are STATE officials acting under STATE laws, and not Federal. I suggest
trying a civics class.

No. The real purpose for government involvement is to protect the kids from
the failure of their parents to live up to the legal commitment that they
made by bringing progeny into this world. Those kids are citizens with equal
rights to those of the parents, and the kids haven't failed to fulfill their
responsibility.
