More money flows through the family courts, and into the hands of courthouse insiders, than in all other court systems in America combined – over $50 billion a year and growing. Through extensive research and interviews with the nation’s top divorce lawyers, mediators, judges, politicians, litigants and journalists, DIVORCE CORP. uncovers how children are torn from their homes, unlicensed custody evaluators extort money, and abusive judges play god with people’s lives while enriching their friends. This explosive documentary reveals the family courts as unregulated, extra-constitutional fiefdoms. Rather than assist victims of domestic crimes, these courts often precipitate them. And rather than help parents and children move on, as they are mandated to do, these courts - and their associates - drag out cases for years, sometimes decades, ultimately resulting in a rash of social ills, including home foreclosure, bankruptcy, suicide and violence.

Palaest recommended
Lancoor A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action
Hulkeasexo it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
tiplarkin-97925 I found this movie all too real as it brought back my living hell of Family Court in Vista/San Diego, CA. Before I got married, my mentor and Investment Adviser encouraged me to get my fiancée to sign a Pre-Nump. I discussed it with her as I was very open with her and as I was already a millionaire on paper and as she was in debt, she agreed. After a 10 year marriage and her never working outside the home, I caught her having an affair with a Hollywood Agent named Jason Trawitz. It came out in Court she also had a brief affair with my best man in the wedding, Toby Russell. Guess its "my bad" for the betrayal of myself. How low of a despicable character does one have to be to sleep with your best friend, and what kind of best friend chooses to bang your wife? So my ex met this Hollywood Agent through the girl who gained fame as the Tool Time Girl who took Pam Anderson's place. Our families were tight and traveled together. In any event, after I found out about her divorce, I was still a sucker and tried taking her to Family Therapists. But as the good Dr's confirmed, she was more interested in being seen with Debbe Dunning in all the hot night clubs within the USA than she was being a good mother. One of the Family Therapists explained that some women's only self-worth is knowing they are sexually desired by the opposite sex. When they look in the mirror and see wrinkles, they resort back to when they were younger and gained self-worth by sleeping with popular guys. After I filed for divorce, she hired a Personal Injury Atty named Michael Quade (handling his first divorce)to represent her. She did not check this Vexatious and extremely deceitful person before she hired him. This guy was as dishonest as serial lying shysters Mohammad and Obama. As they are the two most prolific con men in history, that should tell you how shady this guy was and remains. He was able to dupe and incompetent and disinterested Judge named Brannigan into buying their lies of deceit. They refused to settle for any reasonable offers, and after walking into the Vista Court in 2006 with a Net Worth of 5 Million, I walked out a Victim of the System a broke man who was forced to declare BK to protect what little assets I had from the Vulture like White Collars Criminals known as Attorneys, and Judicial System who allows people to commit perjury, manufacture evidence, and manipulate the system to "legally" extort money out of a man who started washing dishes at 11, put himself through school, make countless sacrifices to honestly earn a slice of the American Dream, and fell Victim to the Great American Scheme; dishonest Attorney's and the Courts which allow them to hone their mass frauds upon an unsuspecting people...and now that I've become the first person ever in my family tree to be diagnosed with the disease of cancer, the Dr's at UCSD's Cancer Center say there can be a ling between "it" and the stress of a 6 1/2 year divorce which still continues to haunt me to this very day. You know I was on the verge of retirement and living the All American Dream when I discovered my ex was living a secret life. I was going to write a book on how to become a millionaire by treating people right, doing the honest and ethical thing, then after running into this Quade character, I did a 180* turn on the subject and just finished a book called Pieces Of Deceit. It's something that they don't teach you in business school, that the greatest threat to ones honestly accumulated Net Worth are the Con Men like Quade and the system which protects him.
dansandini The American Judicial system is a farce. Let's say you go to court in a custody battle. You think you are going to get a fair shake. You find out your ex-spouses attorney makes hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions to the judge. The judge orders you to to be evaluated by a court appointed psychologist. The psychologist finds you an unfit parent and charges you $35,000 for the evaluation. The psychologist also makes hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions to the "impartial" judge. Having been found an unfit parent the judge orders you to pay child which you can not afford. When you are unable to pay you are imprisoned, even though debtors prisons are illegal in the U.S. You speak out against the judge on Facebook. You are imprisoned with drug addicts, sex offenders, rapists and murderers for slandering the court. The judge orders you to stop filing custody paperwork. You refuse and are again imprisoned. Judges leave office one day and begin consulting to their attorney friends the next.Finally a family court judge is caught on tape beating his child with the belt. Nothing happens.America is doomed and there's not a Damn thing we can do about it. File this one under YCMTSU. I wish I had better news.
MartinHafer I have never been divorced and have been happily married for almost 30 years, so I realize I am probably not the target audience for this film. However, if you, too, fall into a similar situation, it does not mean you shouldn't see "Divorce Corp"--in fact I think every American should as the film brings up many instances of judicial malfeasance that we SHOULD be aware of and which should make us angry. Imagine a court system with almost no oversight or right to appeal and whose aim is NOT a speedy resolution of family tragedies--whose ultimate aim, in many cases, is to bleed as much money from the divorcing couples as possible. And, imagine a system where what's best for the kids is sometimes unimportant. Welcome to the US family court system--where endless regulations, delays and costs practically bankrupt a person wanting a divorce. Learn about all this and more in this very hard hitting and interesting film. But also be prepared to finish the film feeling angry...And, by the way, if you are considering divorce, you may just want to watch this one first. After all, the idea of an easy, non- contested and inexpensive divorce is just about extinct and the acrimony that is to come is something to consider.
CANative The touching tale of Dr. Joe Sorge. A San Diegan who cooked the books in his divorce and got caught. Instead of being chastened by his folly, our hero blames "the system" and makes a film to share his newfound knowledge. Apparently, the good doctor sold his business for about $100 million and, in an attempt to avoid child , asserted business losses which would have led to no child . The judge chose to ignore the losses and ordered him to pay child . The court of appeals agreed. There are problems with the system, but a man who goes to such effort to avoid ing his child, is not the man to look to for answers. Double check him, and me, see 202 Cal App 4th 626.
