But if one thing they learn in the cl***** helps resolve an issue that
would have involved both of their attorneys, it'll be the best $125
they ever spent.
Figure this, if both parents raise an issue with their attnies and
both attnies bill them for 2 hours each, the total cost to the family
is close to $1,000 when the smoke clears..

How was anything "forced down their throats?"

It wasn't. They were given a choice, and they made the one that was the
best given the cir***stances. Just like every other parent in the world.

How can someone decide not to use anything from the parenting class
when they've never attended it?

Never?
I find that difficult to believe.

And most of us know better. gregg is posturing for his own sake, the fact
that HE was required to attend such cl***** does not make him an expert,
obviously, since his S.O.'s daughter still has not been reunited with her
mother.

Conflict resolution isn't a guessing game.

All parents are capable of educating their children?
That's why no parent should have to attend the parenting class?
***
Most parents are totally incapable of educating their own children without
significant study on their own part and massive sup****t from an outside
interest. A remarkably ignorant observation you have made there gregg.

Children and parents.

The state presumes that both that parents and children in a family
going thru a divorce would benefit in some way by taking a parenting
course.
Actually it probably costs the attorneys far more (in fees) than it
costs the parents.

Don't the Judge's have jurisdiction because the parents filed for a
divorce?
***
Sure the judge does, because the parents themselves have asked the courts
to
intervene by initiating a divorce action. Judges would be remiss in their
duties if they failed to consider the impact to the family as a whole and
all of its parts individually. Divorce is a legal action, not a moral
one.
Once more gregg is putting his ignorance on display for all to see. I
have
stopped being shocked by this, seems its his personal quirk to have others
note just how illiterate he actually is.
