Divorce law prevent quarrels over children? . . .

Recently a family counselor complained that the current system of divorce law often turns children into something to fight about. The law proscribes parents using parent time, custody as bargaining chips, but parents will do it anyway, despite their attorney’s best efforts. The blame for the quarreling does not lie at the feet of the state or the law, but the parent or parents, as the case may be.

No state and no law can prevent parents quarreling over the children, and co-parenting works only where both parents are willing. States are not good at meddling in family affairs, never have been and never will be. Unfortunately, in our society, they must meddle anyway.
