You must be feeling yourself. I'm self-employed for 25+ years and had employees for 20+ of those years. Started my company with no help from family or political connections (family had no money and I'm not connected). I'm divorced and remarried and spent 14 years in court fighting for visitation and then custody. I've been to court for business, real-estate, divorce, family court have secondary experience with a lot of criminal cases. I actually do know what I'm talking about. Intent is ALWAYS a factor in deciding on consequences.
Sure have! I've worked hard to get better at relationships (business and personal). As a result, I'm been able to avoid court almost always nowadays. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who know that most people are afraid of and/or can't afford to go to court, and they use that to abuse the relationship. I haven't lost a court decision in a VERY long time, partly because I do my best to not get in those situations anymore.
Consequences are not ALWAYS something imposed by a judging entity that takes intent into account. A life can be wasted with bad decisions that never end up in court, because there are still consequences to making bad decisions. You made a bad decision in who you married - such that you ended up in court trying to ameliorate the consequences.
Not all bad decisions lead to courts or parents. But I'm getting a feeling for just what a coddled existence you must be living.

With how often you've gone to court, have you considered the problem is you?
