The “Training & Qualification” Rabbit Hole is one of the many rabbit holes women go down when searching for the reason they lost custody or were unable to protect their children in Family Court.
The truth is, neither trained judges nor qualified appointees will make a dent in the Crisis—because lack of knowledge is not why it is happening. This is just another red herring that distracts and diverts from the truth: that the Crisis is caused by judges, with the help of their appointees, systematically and methodically entitling men, resulting in oppression of women, i.e. systemic sexism.
After Women’s Lib in the 1960’s, when the current iteration of the Crisis began, up until the early 1990’s, mothers and their advocates knew judges were not switching custody out of ignorance about abuse, but were deliberately entitling men to take “their” children. They knew judges did not disbelieve mothers due to lack of training, but were deliberately discrediting them to accomplish the custody switch.
Then the backlash by the Old Boy Network [OBN] kicked in.
Mothers’ attorneys and activists who correctly identified the problem as systemic sexism were being ostracized, disbarred, and jailed. It became uncool to make it a gender issue. Legislators, media, and elected officials did not want to talk about gender.
As a result of this foundational misattribution, mother-advocates began promoting legislation requiring judges to undergo training in domestic abuse as the solution to the Crisis.
The trainings, of course, are designed and controlled by the power elite, and, hence, often convey misinformation that promotes custody switches to fathers.
The thing is, most court-appointees are qualified.
Finding unqualified appointees who will lie is easier than qualified ones, but there is usually a cabal of appointees in every jurisdiction that spans judicial terms. In the end, it makes no difference whether they are qualified or not. Judges will use recommendations by their appointees that suit their purpose and ignore ones they don’t.
It has been a huge waste of mothers’ time and hope advocating for laws that require training of judges and qualification of appointees.
Judges will continue to use appointees who will aid and abet them in switching custody to fathers—regardless of whether they are trained or qualified. Once women and the public come to understand and accept that judges are deliberately giving custody to physically, sexually, and emotionally abusive and alienating fathers, forward movement can be made in ending the Crisis.
