Jennifer Roback-Morse, a prominent libertarian economist who writes frequently about family issues and author of Love and Economics: Why the Laissez-Faire Family Doesn't Work, has just reviewed it in the National Catholic Register: http://ncregister.com/site/article/7342/.
Quote: "My audiences are usually amazed when I point out that family courts perpetrate greater invasions of personal privacy than any other governmental agency. Not the judges. I had expected some resistance from them on this point. After all, they are the ones doing the intruding. When I ran through my usual litany of courts telling fathers how much money they have to spend, how little time they get to spend with their kids and who gets to spend Christmas Day with the kids, the judges were all shaking their heads. I asked: 'So, do you enjoy that part of your jobs?" The audible moaning said it all: They hate that part of their jobs.'"
I think this confirms the suspicion of many of us that the judges are themselves prisoners of the system (or at least of the bar associations and feminists). This quote is entirely consistent with the argument of my book, though she may be right that we sometimes forget that the judges too are helpless to change the system even if they want to.

Just mention this because it's an area of incredible intrusion on peoples' lives. We've got to come up with better solutions in this area of life for the sake of all parties involved.

Ahhh... Family Court where as a 11 year old the judge threatened to put my mother in jail to break my will. Also the first time I every said fuck you to an adult.

I used to have fantasies of looking that jack-ass up when I got full size... "Hey Judge JackAss, think you can intimidate me now."
