The US civil court (family court) system is not just broken but corrupt to the core.

I'm in the middle of a five year divorce on which the judge is known to take kickbacks (donations) from the very attorneys he is supposed to work with.

So it ends up the judges really work for the lawyers, the system is beyond evil and completely broken.

The idea is, they take children from their fathers then make them pay for access, many can't afford it. The state then takes 3% off the top, incentivising the court to take as many kids away as possible, it's sick beyond belief.

I'm my case, making $2,100 a month my "support" is $1,700 a month. When I can't pay, they charge more fees and my ex has the choice to send me to jail if she wants anytime.
