I would like to note that the guardian ad litem mentioned in the article is a paid GAL. These individuals who works private cases are often attorneys. Guardian ad Litems who handle abuse and neglect cases brought by DSS are volunteers, recruited, trained and managed by the SC Guardian ad Litem Program.
For too long, there has been no oversight and no recourse for dealing with corrupt Family Court judges, who inflict their omnipotent will on hapless victims who are unfortunate enough to come before them. More often than not, the victims are males whose wives or soon to be ex-wives give the judge a piece of the action (physical or monetary) to destroy the male both financially and as a parent (custody).
There needs to be some form of independent oversight and reasonable guidlines for child support levels.
Everything you wrote is true.
Our family court system is a sham.
A Charleston attorney who is now General Council for Clemson is said to have uttered shocking words about the system when he was in private practice.
I’ve noticed that the moment any of the participants in Family Court think they may be recorded, they freak out. That’s because everyone participating in the fleecing of the unfortunate couple going through a divorce lies….your attorney will lie, the opposing attorney will lie, God forbid kids are involved, because then the GAL(who is also usually an attorney, because to quote Carlin, “it’s a big club and you ain’t in it) will also lie…and the judges if they need to will lie and even ordering “transcripts” won’t always prevent things said from not being recorded during actual hearings.
It’s a giant, corrupt system that turns on attorney’s making bank on the litigants misery. If at all possible, try to get your spouse to settle…even if you think you’re getting screwed by your spouse for $100K it will be cheaper that paying the jackals in the system and trying to “take it all the way”.
The reason they all lie is because what everyone wants is for you for you and your spouse to “settle”…fairness, justice, truth, etc. et al don’t matter one bit. What matters is their billable hours and their reputations. They’ll “mouth” all supposedly moral motivations they have…but it’s all BS.
Lee Marvin had it right during his BS civil palimony dispute back in the late 70’s….”they all lie”. Most men know they are relatively screwed in SC when it comes to divorce(though they are exceptions obviously) and even though supposedly the “tender years” doctrine is not supposed to be in effect, it clearly is and everyone knows it. There’s little value in a father’s relationship with the children in SC courts and no value in the “truth” regardless of which spouse is the better parent for the children.
It’s truly a horrible system that victimizes the unfortunate litigants on both sides usually harming the kids(if they are any) in the process.
Lexington County is about to experience a maelstrom. Be prepared to report it. A beautiful child was removed from a safe home illegally. Given to her abusers and the mother was made to pay child support. Judge Robert Newton was a key player. Multiple attorney’s participated in this. They denied the mother her constitutional rights and lied openly in court. They also abused the DSS system in South Carolina and North Carolina. Proceeded to try and use and abuse the North Carolina court system.
