Children and the matrimonial process

Michcon De Reya’s survey showing that parents use their children as weapons of war in divorce proceedings certainly has a ring of truth about it.

This is the reason I ceased practising in this field.  I remember one bitter contact case in particular. Endless interim applications - welfare reports - psychiatric reports – psychologist reports etc etc – huddles at the court door.

Where did it get anyone?  What was the effect on the children of this?  Who knows?

I came to the conclusion that I wanted no further part in this and have never taken on a similar case since.

Was I wrong?

Can lawyers make a difference?
