In today's episode we’re talking about 2 big topics: First, the fact that most judges in the family court system don’t want to make decisions for your family because they don’t have sufficient time or expertise to feel confident. And second, you likely don’t want them making these decisions for your family because they don’t have sufficient time or expertise.
In most states, family court judges reach the bench through election or appointment, the requirements for becoming a family court judge are the same for becoming a judge in any other court, and often aren’t required to have any prerequisite experience handling family law cases.
We chat about the complex role of a family court judge and how inexperience, lack of training, and crushing caseloads contribute to inconsistencies in outcomes for families. And we share some frankly shocking research findings around what influences a judge's decision making.
Finally, we share some realities of the family court system that might make you think twice about taking your dispute to court. After all, nobody knows your children, your life, and your priorities better than you do.
