Brad Pitt and Child Support

It is a shame to continue to play this out in the press…Mr. Pitt said something like this today and “it just shows to go you”…Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are very famous and very rich and I do not know them. I have not read their pleadings. I am not a California attorney. But I do have an opinion about parents fighting when they are getting a divorce.  Do not do it. It is not good for you. It is not good for your children, most importantly. It is absolutely terrible for your children. Do not do it. Pay a good mediator to get to the bottom of the issues and help you resolve them. You do not need a judge to help you, you had these kids together in the most intimate of moments. Do not turn over your life to strangers now. Do this right. Get good counsel who believe in resolution. Get a good mediator and sweat it out and get it done between the two of you. Stop going to the press. And, if you are not a famous parent whose every court filing goes to the press, stop filing things in court that can be worked out. Children can suffer from conflict. You should consider the kids first.
