Biden’s nomination allows us to put his VAWA law, and all its family-killing provisions, in a national spotlight. (High-five!)

As many readers know, Sen. Joseph Biden’s office has been in the front of the VAWA debacle. He is running for higher office, and the issue of whether VAWA has done good for people or bad for people is now real.
This is a dynamite chance to state our piece on all the destruction, child depression, [...]

Restraining orders are about shunning, bullying and relational aggression

The term restraining order is a legal one. It’s a cool term—and if one does not practice law, it sounds bearable. It’s a word like writ or tort or mandamus. Something on a dry and yellowing sheet of paper. When we read the term, if we don’t know the reality, we are inclined to think [...]

Maybe the most knowing story of today’s American father—in his sometimes pitiable and lost and degraded life–can be found in the new Kevin Costner movie “Swing Vote.”

A note on domestic violence to the head of the ABA

Men and women in “3:10 to Yuma” — and now

Let’s use “Hostile Aggressive Parenting” instead of PAS

How do we talk about the terrible things that happen to children after divorces?  Calling things by the right names can matter a lot.  Get the name right, and we can move forward. Get it wrong, and we’re stuck.
Often the first name is not the best.

1. We who want to help children are not likely to be heard, because so much of the opposition is mindless.  Peter Ferrera dissects the nature of the mindless intimidation form of “argument” as he discusses the Huffington Post.

Memo to legislators: It’s a Dickensian underworld you avert your eyes from

Please, sir, I want some more.

Please, sir, replied Oliver. I want some more.
