Legal Question in Family Law in Massachusetts
Family Probate Courts 3
So if I am reading this right it is not the best interest but basically a closure to move them in and move them out? We are talking about people's lives :-( Are we also stating that the party with the most money wins? An elder told me that they really do not care that they just want you out of there. What about the individual who uses the courts as a means of threat ''do this or I am taking to court''? An example to that is ''if you don't allow my girlfriend to come to your house I will take you to court''. After verbal threats from her in front of 2 witnesses and involving my neighbors and vulgarity in front of all including the children she succeeded in sending me to the ER. Resolution I called the local PD both when I was hit and to stop her from coming to my home. I have a meeting spot now and did not need the courts to solve this. The police did. What I am trying to say is some people use their finances for abusing the system and continue to do this. Some people try to find ways to seek vengence and have not truely moved on. As an attorney you must see this in clients who are so upset that they were divorced they intentionally repeat a pattern over and over and just can not let go. It has been almost 6 years.

It doesn't seem that you actually have a legal question but appear to be upset about your own divorce experience. Courts are the only legal means of enforcing the law. Parties to a divorce who violate the terms fo the divorce order are brought in front of a probate judge on contempt proceedings to have the Court Order (the law) enforced, the same way people who commit an assault and battery are made to answer in the criminal court ( - note: the police did not solve your problem, the Court ultimately did... the police cannot make a person stay away from a home - a judge can). When people do everything they are supposed to do, then there is no contempt.

You have obviously misunderstood my points, and those of Mr. Weicker, and you have also misunderstood -- as Mr. Weicker pointed out -- that the police used the criminal court system after you were assaulted.
You are obviously unhappy with the resolution of a high-conflict divorce. You are one of at least two people involved in this high-conflict divorce (apparently, with your ex's girlfriend, at least three). Frankly, your bitterness about the system suggests that it did not believe that your ex -or- his girlfriend were solely responsible for ramping up the conflict; the Probate and Family Court may have seen your conduct as a factor in it. That is a supposition, of course, but I doubt that the physical conflict you describe would have occurred if the courts had stepped in and sided entirely with -you- earlier.
At this stage, I am going to suggest that you leave us to answer specific questions by people needing help on this BBS system, rather than claiming that we are somehow part of a legal system that does nothing. The fact is, the system works for most of the people it serves. It "fails," at least temporarily, when one or more parties to a conflict refuse to accept that court's authority or impartial judgment. Please examine your role in the failure you describe in some other forum.
