The Divorce Court Nightmare. Stephen Baskerville on the Dr. J Show

Dr. Stephen Baskerville is an expert in the politics surrounding family court. He describes a worrisome system: Courts that reward people for leaving their spouse, take custody of children, and create situations that pit parents against each other. It is a system built for business at the expense of families and children. Learn about the industry of lawyers, social workers, "One-stop-divorce-shops", and organizations that get money and power by pushing people to divorce. Federal government wants a piece of the pie as well, and have found a way to take money from fathers and rarely give it to the struggling mothers and children. Stephen Baskerville has the best understanding of the terrible machinations of the courts. He is sharing that information with us today on the Dr. J Show.
