Watch Divorce Corp. For Free

Overrated and overhyped

Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

I found this movie all too real as it brought back my living hell of Family Court in Vista/San Diego, CA. Before I got married, my mentor and Investment Adviser encouraged me to get my fiancée to sign a Pre-Nump. I discussed it with her as I was very open with her and as I was already a millionaire on paper and as she was in debt, she agreed. After a 10 year marriage and her never working outside the home, I caught her having an affair with a Hollywood Agent named Jason Trawitz. It came out in Court she also had a brief affair with my best man in the wedding, Toby Russell. Guess its "my bad" for the betrayal of myself. How low of a despicable character does one have to be to sleep with your best friend, and what kind of best friend chooses to bang your wife? So my ex met this Hollywood Agent through the girl who gained fame as the Tool Time Girl who took Pam Anderson's place. Our families were tight and traveled together. In any event, after I found out about her divorce, I was still a sucker and tried taking her to Family Therapists. But as the good Dr's confirmed, she was more interested in being seen with Debbe Dunning in all the hot night clubs within the USA than she was being a good mother. One of the Family Therapists explained that some women's only self-worth is knowing they are sexually desired by the opposite sex. When they look in the mirror and see wrinkles, they resort back to when they were younger and gained self-worth by sleeping with popular guys. After I filed for divorce, she hired a Personal Injury Atty named Michael Quade (handling his first divorce)to represent her. She did not check this Vexatious and extremely deceitful person before she hired him. This guy was as dishonest as serial lying shysters Mohammad and Obama. As they are the two most prolific con men in history, that should tell you how shady this guy was and remains. He was able to dupe and incompetent and disinterested Judge named Brannigan into buying their lies of deceit. They refused to settle for any reasonable offers, and after walking into the Vista Court in 2006 with a Net Worth of 5 Million, I walked out a Victim of the System a broke man who was forced to declare BK to protect what little assets I had from the Vulture like White Collars Criminals known as Attorneys, and Judicial System who allows people to commit perjury, manufacture evidence, and manipulate the system to "legally" extort money out of a man who started washing dishes at 11, put himself through school, make countless sacrifices to honestly earn a slice of the American Dream, and fell Victim to the Great American Scheme; dishonest Attorney's and the Courts which allow them to hone their mass frauds upon an unsuspecting people...and now that I've become the first person ever in my family tree to be diagnosed with the disease of cancer, the Dr's at UCSD's Cancer Center say there can be a ling between "it" and the stress of a 6 1/2 year divorce which still continues to haunt me to this very day. You know I was on the verge of retirement and living the All American Dream when I discovered my ex was living a secret life. I was going to write a book on how to become a millionaire by treating people right, doing the honest and ethical thing, then after running into this Quade character, I did a 180* turn on the subject and just finished a book called Pieces Of Deceit. It's something that they don't teach you in business school, that the greatest threat to ones honestly accumulated Net Worth are the Con Men like Quade and the system which protects him.

"A film titled "Divorce Corp," along with a companion book, debuted across the nation earlier this month," said David H. Levy, founding partner and former managing partner of matrimonial law firm Berger Schatz, in a statement. "In my 37 years of practicing law, I have yet to come across such a biased and misleading portrayal of the many attorneys, judges and other professionals involved in matrimonial and family law. The so-called "documentary" paints a distorted picture, focusing on anomalous divorce cases that — as sometimes happens in any legal case — have gone badly for everyone. However, in my experience, those anomalies represent only a small fraction of most divorce cases, which are rarely easy but most often end equitably in a way that allows families and individuals to move ahead with their lives. To suggest that the scenarios depicted in the movie represent "typical" divorce cases is false and misleading, and unfairly maligns the hard work divorce lawyers do to resolve cases efficiently and fairly.

The touching tale of Dr. Joe Sorge. A San Diegan who cooked the books in his divorce and got caught. Instead of being chastened by his folly, our hero blames "the system" and makes a film to share his newfound knowledge. Apparently, the good doctor sold his business for about $100 million and, in an attempt to avoid child support, asserted business losses which would have led to no child support. The judge chose to ignore the losses and ordered him to pay child support. The court of appeals agreed. There are problems with the system, but a man who goes to such effort to avoid supporting his child, is not the man to look to for answers. Double check him, and me, see 202 Cal App 4th 626.

Divorce Inc is brilliant and insightful. The movie captures the ugly and the nasty side of the Industry that any reasonable person will label as a racketeering and corrupt organization. The divorce Inc is the most totalitarian institution ever created by Family Courts, Family Bar Associations, Custody Evaluators, Guardian at Litems, unethical Judges, Therapists and other "court hangers". It is the most serious perpetrator of human and constitutional rights violations in the U.S. The divorce regime is responsible for much more than "ugly divorces," "nasty custody battles that lead decent citizens into bankruptcy and foreclosures and huge payouts to the "court hangers". Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Divorce Inc captures this essence very forcefully. Family Courts hearings should be subject to video and audio recordings and evaluated for fairness by citizens. Jury trials should become the norm when a Judge is accused of bias. Family Court Judges should be required and subjected to annual citizen hearings regarding their decisions in custody cases and graded upon their performances.
