The Protection of the Child.
Introduction
Family law is breaking the children by allowing the constant fighting to go on between parents, not protecting the children, and encouraging divorce.
Family law has lost sight of its foundations not because it is not following the law, but because it is no longer protecting the security of family, children 's rights, or the sanctity of marriage.
The court system is not protecting the children 's rights or the security of the family.
The court system is employing Guardian ad Liteum 's who are not interested in doing their job because they are underpaid and they do not have enough of them to support the need for family law.
Qualifications to be a Guardian ad Liteum(WI Stat 767.407,Minn. Stat 260.155)
Requirements to do the job of a GAL ( WI Stat 767.407,Minn. Stat 260.155,) B. The security of the family.
Children are not being protected in the decision process of the family court, instead of focusing on the “best interests of the child “they are focusing on the law and the issues surrounding the law. (Ross, 1997)
They are not emphasizing on the families involved, to look for a better solution to protect our children from harms way. (http://www.dearzachary.com) Restoring the sanctity of marriage. A. Divorce should be a difficult process to dissuade couples from proceeding down that path without working through all their options first. B. Continued counseling should be a mandatory requirement in all divorce cases to help prevent issues from arising in the future.
