MartinHafer I have never been divorced and have been happily married for almost 30 years, so I realize I am probably not the target audience for this film. However, if you, too, fall into a similar situation, it does not mean you shouldn't see "Divorce Corp"--in fact I think every American should as the film brings up many instances of judicial malfeasance that we SHOULD be aware of and which should make us angry. Imagine a court system with almost no oversight or right to appeal and whose aim is NOT a speedy resolution of family tragedies--whose ultimate aim, in many cases, is to bleed as much money from the divorcing couples as possible. And, imagine a system where what's best for the kids is sometimes unimportant. Welcome to the US family court system--where endless regulations, delays and costs practically bankrupt a person wanting a divorce. Learn about all this and more in this very hard hitting and interesting film. But also be prepared to finish the film feeling angry...And, by the way, if you are considering divorce, you may just want to watch this one first. After all, the idea of an easy, non- contested and inexpensive divorce is just about extinct and the acrimony that is to come is something to consider.

tsmith-938-736926 It is hard to get anyone to witness reality when the reality is so bleak. I went to the Fri opening in Denver with a buddy and another couple and there were less than 2 hand fulls of people in the theater. But the story was so well done I found myself having to leave after about an hour. It brought back so many bad memories of my personal experience as the victim of what I can only describe as racketeering.We worry so much about off-shore terrorism when we have a huge domestic terrorist threat in the family courts. Threats, intimidation, bribery, falsifications, forced imprisonment, loss of property, career, reputation it all happens - and justified with the biggest lie of all "in the best interest of the children'. I know many actual victims cannot afford to go to a theater movie or can't emotionally handle the replay of the horror story of life they lived through. But this is a must see for anybody concerned about basic justice - for ultimately it is largely about the abuse and use of children as pawns. It should be requited viewing for High School students and any premarital counseling. Society is paying a huge price for enabling and fostering the ability for anyone to "terrorize" another person and abuse the basic human rights of children merely for the sake of making some $$$.

jessefields413 "A film titled "Divorce Corp," along with a companion book, debuted across the nation earlier this month," said David H. Levy, founding partner and former managing partner of matrimonial law firm Berger Schatz, in a statement. "In my 37 years of practicing law, I have yet to come across such a biased and misleading portrayal of the many attorneys, judges and other professionals involved in matrimonial and family law. The so-called "documentary" paints a distorted picture, focusing on anomalous divorce cases that — as sometimes happens in any legal case — have gone badly for everyone. However, in my experience, those anomalies represent only a small fraction of most divorce cases, which are rarely easy but most often end equitably in a way that allows families and individuals to move ahead with their lives. To suggest that the scenarios depicted in the movie represent "typical" divorce cases is false and misleading, and unfairly maligns the hard work divorce lawyers do to resolve cases efficiently and fairly.

CANative The touching tale of Dr. Joe Sorge. A San Diegan who cooked the books in his divorce and got caught. Instead of being chastened by his folly, our hero blames "the system" and makes a film to share his newfound knowledge. Apparently, the good doctor sold his business for about $100 million and, in an attempt to avoid child support, asserted business losses which would have led to no child support. The judge chose to ignore the losses and ordered him to pay child support. The court of appeals agreed. There are problems with the system, but a man who goes to such effort to avoid supporting his child, is not the man to look to for answers. Double check him, and me, see 202 Cal App 4th 626.
