Diane & Rick report on a recent court hearing they attended, in which the judge admonished the parties to never come back to the court, if they knew what was best for the children. Diane questions what that really means. Is that possible? What if you have no choice? How can judges have so much power to affect the lives of innocent parties who really don’t want to be in front of a judge? They discuss an initiative to get citizens in courtrooms and invite judges who may be listening to come on and explain some of this nonsense!

What if your co-parent informed you, after the fact, that your child was baptized — and according to your child, all of his/her extended family attended?! How do you respond when your child wants to know why you weren’t there? Diane & Rick discuss the difficulty of dealing with a co-parent who purposely leaves the other parent out of major decisions or life events. WHO DOES THIS? Unfortunately, too many.
