Justin Chang Variety 01/14/2014
A vigorous but clumsily argued expose of the corrupt family-court practices that have turned one of life's more painful experiences into a $50 billion-a-year industry. Go to Full Review

If this movie were a person, it would be the kind of person you'd avoid because you fear he might explode one day and you'd rather not be there when it happens. Go to Full Review
Nicolas Rapold New York Times 01/09/2014
The tone ranges from wounded to disgusted, but a movie positing this deep a rot in the system needs to be more measured and better made to take hold. Go to Full Review

court f 02/15/2023 The most accurate representation of really what goes on in the Family Court system. $60 billion flows through our nation's family courts annually and racketeering is an epidemic. The crime is real and it is organized and it is every day devastating the lives of children and parents. Unethical attorneys, so-called experts, and complicit and/or permissive judges have turned the destruction of children and families and siphoning of their assets and income into an industry, with family law pleadings representing little more than paper for their printing press. Law enforcement, the media, and the judicial system itself turn a blind eye to the ubiquitous crime, attributing everything to a "he said, she said" situation, or to the ranting of a disgruntled litigant. That is merely cover-up and abdication of duty See more 08/02/2021 sad but unfortunately true, something many of us are unaware if we have been amicably divorced and no children, unfortunately i have seen the ramifications of this travesty in other's lives and had a hard time understanding it.. this should be outlawed and reformed.. children's (and parent's) lives are drastically affected by this money making misuse of family law.. See more 04/08/2017 Divorce Corp is Sadly too true. Lawyers will do anything to get Dollars from anyone with money. This must stop! See more 10/12/2016 A scary movie that insists you need to move to Scandinavia before getting a divorce. See more 05/02/2016 Essential viewing for anyone interested in Family Law, Child Protection, and Family/Play Therapy. Dotes not include personality disorders (Axis II, Cluster B) as motives for conflictual behavior and blames the system, which is absolutely appropriate but isn't the whole story. Be sure to watch the YouTube interviews on DivorceCorp YouTube channel. If you're in Colorado and want to organize for change see boulderparentsupport.com See more 04/29/2016 A shocking truth about the law system in USA. More particularly the divorce system where the judges are considered gods and are let to get away with everything. Watching this you'll ask yourself "is it possible for a person to be so cold hearted?" See more Read all reviews
