So, it’s been quite a few months since my blog about Divorce
Corp., The Movie. It seems, however,
that this documentary, which has done for the practice of divorce law what Reefer Madness did for marijuana, was
such an astounding hit that the film’s director has found a way to continue
profiting from the documentary’s success.
Indeed, ladies and gentlemen (but
let’s face it, mostly gentlemen), this coming weekend you have the opportunity
to attend the Divorce Corp. conference in Alexandria, Virginia, just a stone’s
throw across the Potomac to our nation’s capital.
Yes, starting this coming
Saturday, November 15th, through Sunday, November 16th,
you and like-minded concerned citizens can, for the low price of $199.00[i]
can hear seminars on the following (and I took this from the website)
topics
|
·
Child Support – Who Benefits?
·
The Constitutional rights of Parents
·
Do Our Family Laws Reconcile With Modern Social Trends?
·
The Impact of Domestic Violence and Parental Alienation on
Custody
·
Mediation vs. Litigation for Family Law Matters
·
Are Family Courts the New Mafia?
|
·
RICO Suits Against the State Courts
·
Equal Parenting
·
The Science Behind Primary vs. Shared Custody
·
Alimony Reform Success
·
Revising Child Support Guidelines
·
Judicial Elections and Their Impact on Judicial Independence
|
I would
particularly like to hear the seminar on “Are Family Courts the New
Mafia.” I mean, heck, in Broward County,
Ft. Lauderdale, Florida we only have one Italian family law judge so what’s
up? I would also like to hear the “RICO
Suits Against the State Courts” seminar.
“RICO” stands for Racketeering and Corrupt Organizations" Act, a
law designed to invoke criminal penalties
as well as a civil cause of action against entities engaged in ongoing
criminal enterprises. Hey, are they
picking on the Italian judges again?
Well, there’s
still time to register. I bet they’ll
even take walk-ins. It’s at the Westin
Alexandria, located at (I’m not making this up) 400 Courthouse Square. How fitting.
Seriously,
our entire legal system is living and breathing. Otherwise, how do we, in modern society, base
our laws on a document that is over 230 years old? I do not believe that the family law courts
are immune from the need for some changes as well. But, as with anything else, when the changes
are pushed from vigilantes, the changes are never designed to serve all people.
I hope the
attendees get something towards positive changes. From the seminar topics I have my doubts. One thing, their wallets will be at least
$199 lighter. But this IS America, and
everyone is entitled to make a living, even lawyers.
As for me,
I’ll be at the University of Florida visiting my daughter and watching the Gators play the South
Carolina Gamecocks (nice name).

was $99 before September 1st…sorry-I missed the update
