The thing with family court is, if you bring up abuse, then you're either going to be painted as the vindictive ex-wife that's just trying to alienate the children from their dad, or it's just sort of like just ignored.
Ever wondered what really goes on behind the closed doors of family courts? In this eye-opening episode of 'The Never Give Up Show!', Bailey Smith sits down with Sheila Jaffee, Adrienne Pugh, and Emily Schlossberg to discuss their personal battles and the broader fight for justice in the family court system. Sheila, a long-time advocate and member of Families Against Court Travesties (FACTS), shares her journey from printing newsletters to becoming a pivotal voice in court reforms.
Adrienne, a survivor of an eight-year abusive marriage, opens up about the ongoing struggles she faces, including sending her son to his abusive father every other weekend. Emily adds her perspective on the legislative hurdles and the importance of court watchers in ensuring transparency and fairness. The conversation dives deep into the systemic issues, such as the dismissal of abuse allegations and the stigmatization of survivors.
As Sheila puts it, 'If you bring up abuse in family court, you're often painted as a vindictive ex or just ignored.' This episode is a must-listen for anyone affected by the family court system or passionate about social justice. Tune in to hear these courageous women share their stories and discuss how they're fighting to make a difference.
