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.

Paul Allaer "Divorce Corp." (2014 release; 93 min.) is a documentary that takes a closer look at the business of divorce in the US. Yes, business, as we are informed that this is a $50 billion/yr. industry, and the average divorce (including related child custody issues) costs $50,000. As the movie opens, we are introduced to a guy in Cincinnati who tells the tragic story of how his second wife, not long after they have a little boy, pulls the rug from under his feet and is able to not only ruin his finances and reputation but also to keep him from seeing his own son. As the movie progresses, we come to know others (in Memphis, Dallas, etc.) who have similar blood-boiling stories to tell. To tell you more specifics of the documentary would spoil your viewing experience, you'll just have to see it for yourself.Couple of comments: first, even though examples are pulled from across the country, the documentary as a whole is heavily California-focused, perhaps not a surprise since it seems California is on the cutting edge of many divorce/custody battle strategies (and they do mean "battle"). Second, what really gets under your skin is the vested and interlinked interest that EVERYONE involved except the families themselves, has to keep this "industry" going and growing. The documentary does a great job contrasting this with the situation in "Scandinavia" (mostly examples from Iceland, some from Sweden). Third, kudos to writer-producer-director Joe Sorge for bringing us this riveting, and revolting, assessment of divorce, and family courts in general.This movie showed up a few weekends ago on a single screen for all of Greater Cincinnati. I figured this wouldn't be playing long so I went to see it a few days ago. I had a private screening, as in: I was literally the only person in the theater. No matter, this is an excellent documentary. Whether you can check it out in the theater or on DVD/Blu-ray, "Divorce Corp." is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Doug George Just saw 'Divorce Corp' in Boston on January 23rd, 2014. The Boston Embassy Theatre reported it having the largest ever turnout for a special showing. I estimated approx. 200 in attendance. At conclusion of the documentary there was overwhelming applause, followed by a very interesting panel of 4, assembled by Ned Holstein of the NPO (National Parents Organization) to Q&A, with audience participation. By a requested showing of 'hands', the audience was well represented by divorced mothers and fathers, family law reformers, along with those that feed off the misery from children of divorce. An outstanding film that brings bona fide legitimacy towards unveiling the corruption behind the black robe of judges and their disgraceful and criminal dealings of the kangaroo court, called "Family Court". Divorce Corp. reflects truth of our most disgraceful part of America which compelled me and thousands of others, like Alec Baldwin, to personally speak out and become an activist in support of millions of parents and children brutalized by the Family Court racketeering scheme. It is my promise as an infuriated American father to personally help widely distribute future released DVD's of this film across campuses at Harvard Law School, Suffolk Law, N.U., B.U. and then watch those respective anti-establishment activists spread the word globally. The movie included many candid interviews with retired judges, lawyers, parenting coordinators, a P.I., and Scandinavian people(whom I envy)from Iceland who do not have flourishing corrupt Family Courts, that our country will eventually model, if good trump's evil.

tommypaine3 It is hard to get the word out on the injustice system out Family Court system is providing. This documentary does a very good job. Unfortunately a lot more could be said. The enemy within is not so much communists or terrorists, but family court. But its a start. Unless something is done Family court will destroy America. There were only 6 people at the showing I went to. I think many of the actual victims cannot afford to go to a movie. A must see for anybody concerned about justice. This should be requited viewing to all High School students. And required viewing in any premarital counseling session. It would have been somewhat better if they spent more time on false allegations and the political factors that have shaped this disaster.
