  • Motion to Compel a Mental Health Evaluation & Ex-Husband Drama

    We break down a Motion to Compel a Mental Health Evaluation and discuss what happens when mental health allegations collide with an attorney's billable hours.

    We also discuss attorney tactics, including bringing third parties unrelated to the case into court filings, allegations of non-compliance, the financial burden of custody litigation, and the challenges parents face when navigating family court while balancing work, parenting, and everyday life.

    We discuss domestic violence allegations, panic attacks, family court narratives, credibility attacks, co-parenting conflict, and how statements made outside the courtroom can later appear in legal filings.

  • Family Court Is a Business: Kids Are the Product, Lawyers & Judges Make Money
    Jun 13 2026

    Christine Miller (lawyer, advocate, and badass from Kentucky) joins us to discuss what she thought was a local problem with family court judges and attorneys—only to discover that parents across the United States and around the world are telling the exact same stories.

    After leaving family law practice, Christine began exposing courtroom misconduct, judicial accountability issues, and growing concerns about the family court system through social media, her podcast, and the Judg-y app, which allows parents to review judges and share their courtroom experiences.

    In this episode, we discuss:

    • Family court reform
    • Judicial accountability and transparency
    • Judges, attorneys, GALs, and third-party professionals
    • High-conflict custody litigation
    • Parental alienation allegations
    • Mental health evaluations in custody cases
    • Domestic violence claims in family court
    • 50/50 custody laws
    • Courtroom cameras and public oversight
    • Attorney ethics and litigation tactics
    • The financial costs of family court
    • Real parent stories from across the country

    We also discuss why so many parents feel unheard by the system, the emotional and financial toll of custody litigation, and whether family court is truly operating in the best interests of children.

    If you're navigating a custody dispute, parenting plan modification, GAL investigation, co-parenting conflict, domestic violence allegations, or ongoing family court litigation, this episode explores why so many families believe the problems are much bigger than any one case, judge, or state.

    No legal, medical, mental health, or therapeutic advice is provided. This podcast is intended for educational and entertainment purposes only.
