A few days ago Oregon celebrated laiw Day At the same time a story appeared on the high cost of divorce, upward to 630 non How can we celebrate a system that throws divorcing parents into a room with the express purpose of waging a war over the care of their children Fvidently the Oregon Slate Bar wishes to continue watching the fight During a Senate hearing on SB 537. a bill on yomt custody the Family Law Section of the Oregon State Bar submitted testimony, written by Stephen Shepard opposing joint custody Joint custixly has a proven track record in 12 other states in reducing the acrimony and violence of divorce and custody disputes ll also has cut the courtroom battles and the resultant legal lees in half The- apparent message is keep the iMltles. keep the fees cjuite frankly I would lx* emtiar rassed to submit the arguments presented as logical or meaningful Tlie practicing lawyers in this stale should hang their heads in shame if Shepards remarks are representa live of their views The Family l-aw testimony said that having two parents fight over the children is not good for the children, yet the current system creates an adversarial situation for («alcnls who want the*»- children catch 22 fam ily Law is currently one step above dueling and it looks like the Bar wants it that way Shepard throws out such ridiculous statements like "constant battle* what if one parent wants the child to stay up until lo p m while one parent wants 8 p m and ime parent wants the child to finish dinner and the other parent doc* not can Shepard be serious Dues he think joint custudy requires hourly phone calls There are other contention* that fly in the face of current society like insinuating that women are to stay home with the children or that a parent onlv wants joint custody to blackmail'' the other parent In one grand paragraph the Kam ily Law Section seems to claim to be export* on families and their best interests and then claim lo be unbiased after all for 675 to 6150 an hour they will take either side Is it true a gixxl lawyer will defend you to your last dollar Do we believe a Washington County judge who said "this is a courtroom logic isn't necessary here Do all lawyers in Oregon support the Family laiw position I would like to believe some attorneys are proud of their profession and take justice seriously They Ix-tter send the message soon Sincerely.
