5.0 out of 5 stars A compelling and important critique of family courts, 9 Oct 2006

By	a reader (London) - See all my reviews

As Mears says, the power of family court to blight lives is immense. This booklet looks at how well they exercise that power in practice. Mears argues, with plenty of detailed examples to back up what he says, that the courts are deeply biased, and hopelessly infected with all the worst aspects of political correctness. In particular, they are anti-father and anti-husband. They claim to act in the best interests of children but, as Mears shows, they frequently don't. When forced to choose between the interests of the mother and those of the children, they will come down on the side of the mother, time after time. In many cases, Mears shows, they are loose cannons who make up law themselves, and frequently act in opposition to the will of parliament.

Many of the most effective passages are those in which Mears simply quotes the judges themselves. Some of the judgements are so extraordinary as to be laughable (if they weren't so frightening). The book is well worth buying and reading if only to discover quite how absurd, irrational and arrogant these judges are. It is terrifying to think how many ordinary decent people are forced to put their lives into the hands of these people.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally..., 25 Jun 2007

By	K Harrison "Ryn" (Brighton) - See all my reviews

It has taken many years but finally people are backing up the personal accounts such as Mark Harris in Family Court Hell. I heard Martin Mears speak sensibly and coherently on the radio this weekend and I will be purchasing this book now.
