You expect the system to "protect" you and your children. And when you see your case and your cause given lip service over actual remedy-providing service, you wonder, "why?"
You think if you just try harder or communicate clearer with your divorce lawyer, then your case will be brought before the court. And this will provide you with the expected remedy of bringing a halt to your opposition\'s ongoing abuse to you.
All the while, your opposition and counsel are planning the next move. What can they do to silence you and your established or alleged victimization?

Sounds simple, doesn\'t it. Well, it is. These two methods are as old as prostitution and they are very effective in silencing your victimization.
