“… there’s no winning in family court – there are only degrees of losing”: A Cautionary Tale

Never mind that goofy MIP thing, this book should be required reading (and a mandatory purchase!) for all divorcing couples:

“In some cases, the court must deal with “recreational litigants” – parents who literally fight until the children are grown up.

Which is part of the reason Brownstone is donating all the proceeds of his $19.95 book to the Children’s Wish Foundation, which helps children facing life-threatening disease. “I want parents who are fighting over Halloween access and Christmas vacations – who’ve lost sight of the big picture – to know that there are other parents out there who won’t even have the privilege to see their children graduate.

“It breaks my heart that some parents are planning funerals for their children while others are fighting over who gets to take the kids trick or treating.”

Judge Harvey Brownstone, author of Tug of War: A Judge’s Verdict on Separation, Custody Battles, and the Bitter Realities of Family Court
