"People can get as much justice as they can afford. And most people cannot afford any justice at all." - Gloria Albright
This is a powerful statement from the documentary, Divorce Corp. I didn't need a movie to tell me this. My personal experience with child support enforcement in the family court system has been one of disappointment. I naively thought the family court system would be a champion for my son. Instead, it has only perpetuated injustice and inequality. My ex has never paid his full amount of court-ordered child support. More importantly, he has never provided the court-ordered health coverage for our son. To make matters worse, his employer is refusing to cooperate so the health coverage can be deducted from his check. The laws promise action, but it hasn't delivered any in my case. There's been no enforcement and no justice for my son.
Divorce Corp. pulls back the curtain on the $50 billion a year U.S. family law industry. Despite my own negative experience with the family court system, I was still shocked, saddened, and disgusted by the gross injustice to moms, dads, and children. The desire for money and power trump a child's happiness
As the title implies, divorce is a corporation - a business. An extremely successful one at that. Joe Sorga, the director exposes the utter disregard for justice, fairness, and compassion in the family court system. The core values are subjective and the operating procedures are appalling. The movie depicts cases from the extreme end of the spectrum to prove its point. It will absolutely pull on your heart strings.
You should see this movie if you're single or engaged or married or divorced. Basically, everyone should see this movie. Not so you become jaded against marriage or the legal system. See the movie so you can become aware of the issue and make a difference. Making a difference varies for each of us.
The movie isn't all doom and gloom. It does present the Scandinavian divorce model as an alternative. I appreciate that the movie gives us another option, although it may not be the best option in the U.S. They have the same divorce rate as the U.S. However, divorce isn't used as a means to build wealth. We give money too much value in the U.S. Many people use their bank account as a source of their self-worth. So, the loss of money feels like a loss of identity. That fear causes them to fight violently to hold on tighter and tighter to their money. Money isn't the reason divorce is a billion dollar business - the love of money is.
Divorce Corp. has accomplished its goal of bringing attention to the dysfunction in the family court system. The next step falls on our shoulders. Change will only happen when we work together. That's where organization's like My Advocate Center come in. They sponsored the movie screening I attended in Atlanta, GA and are aggressively pushing for reform.
