One of my lessons learned

fosterhood:

Forget a prenup, I want a pre-custody agreement signed before ever giving birth to someone’s child.  In my experience with Jacket, court was a nasty, dirty place where I was voiceless while watching untruths being told.  My court attendance was limited, but it gave me a glimpse of what a child custody battle could look like and I never, ever want to experience such a horrible thing.

I’d trade a soul-sucking day of court for a campy day visiting Riker’s Island anytime.

Completely concur.
