The littlest court

The standing of Domestic Relations court is tragically and pathetically ironic.

Consider the following about the Domestic Relations court.

• is at the bottom of the US judicial system
• is extremely inefficient and error prone
  
• exercises more power and control of the litigants than any other court
• is routinely ignored or circumvented by entities that would sue a spouse for the results caused by the Domestic Relations court
• routinely denies the litigants their rights to

• -due process
• -self representation
• -trial by jury
• -trial by non-prejudicial bench

• routinely issues stranglehold restraining orders
• fail to properly oversee lawyer abuse
• allow lawyers to pad the case to fleece the litigants of the little money they have
• operate in secret, proceedings in chambers, no court reporter, no record of abuses
• suspend civil rules on acceptable evidence
• accept prejudicial statements from lawyers as evidence

There is no simple band-aid solution, the corruption must be killed as a cancer that it is on the justice system and the Domestic Relations Court needs to be rebuilt with citizen's needs and constitutional rights as the top priority.

This won't be easy as a Divorce Industry has grown up around the Domestic Relations Court corruption and is dependent on it for their own survival. This special interest lobby, as all of them, are working directly against the interests of the majority of the citizens interest. This is the process that has bastardized the democratic rule of the people.
