Overview

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.

While it's from 2014 I can tell you from being in the family court system for (as I'm not done) nearly 31 months (with the state (MN) violating my 14th amendment, but too afraid of the court to protect constitutional rights) that this is still dead on. I've had a lot of it happen to me personally (not to the level of the people shown), and from how the rest of the government behaves once the phrase family court is uttered what I haven't experienced I'm sure still happens. This system doesn't belong in this country, it's based solely on GREED. Sadly the children suffer, and if you're unfortunate enough to be with a high conflict person then you'll get to see what's in the movie and what I've seen. The courts are extremely biased as are the 'professionals' in my case as well as in the movie, in particular toward males.
