Battered women, who are victims of spousal legal abuse, tell me, “The courts and attorneys don’t get it!” These women truly believe that the court agents don’t understand domestic abuse. But the fact is the divorce lawyers and family court agents do understand. They most definitely get it!
The one who doesn’t get it is the battered woman. I certainly understand how that is and why they don’t get it. Read on because the sooner you get it, the sooner you will help yourself.
Reality of Legal Help for Abuse
You see domestic violence survivors turn to the legal system to help protect them and their children from abuse. Sounds reasonable, right?
BUT here’s what happens… The legal system lifts up the family veil and sees all this ugly mess. They think they are looking at “bad boys” and “crazy girls.” Or, at least that’s what the respective parties tell them.
Since these legal folks, employed by the domestic violence family, must eat and need shelter like everyone else, a fee is tied to their services.
Now the person who holds the key to the family purse is the one who has inherent ability to turn on and off the money spigot. And this financially fortified fellow can direct the cash flow as he desires.
Inside Story for the Legal Helpers
What usually happens is the divorce attorneys must find a way to keep all of the employed individuals paid to some extent to keep “the party” going. But the day comes when the litigants tire, or self-destruct, or their family well dries up.
And on this day, the tide turns…big time. And the battered women and their counsel are left in the wake. As the domestic violence survivors struggle to swim afloat…they shout, “The attorneys and the courts don’t get it!”
You see, they know they are the abused and they remain perplexed as to how it is and why it is that these legal folks didn’t protect them from abuse.
Ray of Hope for Battered Women
There is a way to reach out for help and navigate the system, without drowning in the wake. You must see the system for what it is and use it to your advantage.
You must recognize you are a player in a larger puzzle and you have a place in the system. You can weather this storm and even make it to the other side without becoming penniless, homeless and childless. You MUST get it, before it gets you1
