Book Reviews of Dear Judge (Kid's Letters to the Judge)
Book Review: Should be read
Summary: 5 Stars
This book should be read by anyone directly involved in divorces that involve children.
The book is a collection of letters written by children to the judge handling the divorce/custody case of their parents.
Some letters or funny, some are sad and some will make you cry.
It is such a shame that the parents and their advocates often seem to forget that the children have an interest in the outcome of any divorce/custody case. From these letters it becomes obvious that in many cases the children are pawns used by one or both spouses to take out their rage toward the other.
The following are excerpts from some of the more poignant letters:
Letter 75. Dear Judge, Please send me the definition of Best Interest of the Child.
Letter 91. Dear Judge, I want to divorce my parents. Since they got divorced I do not like either one of them.
Letter 97. Dear Judge, I promise You and God to never do this to my children.
Letter 121. Dear Judge, Dont you care how I feel?
Letter 141. Dear Judge, It doesn't hurt any more. It doesn't feel any more.
It is very sobering reading. While I understand the hatred that can develop over a divorce, it seems inhumane for parents to take out their frustrations on the children or to put the children in the middle of a fight.
It is well worth reading for anyone dealing with the process of divorce involving children.
