Family Courts Reward Domestic Violence With Spousal Support
Forum Column - By Fred Silberberg - If we're to believe the bumper stickers preaching that "there's no excuse for domestic violence," why are California's family courts underwriting the abusers?
By Fred Silberberg
We have all seen the bumper stickers on sheriff's patrol cars that read: "There is no excuse for domestic violence." Seems logical, seems straightforward. There should be no excuse for domestic violence. And if that is the case, then certainly there should be no reward for domestic violence. Yet, in family-law court, that does not always seem to be the case.
