“I think it’s an absolute misconception that litigation does not help children,
that it’s never in the child’s best interest for the parents to litigate.
I think if there are allegations that can be settled by fact-finding, it is important to litigate as early as possible. Otherwise, you are going to have theories from each side, and the ghosts of these theories are going to haunt the case and the professionals involved for months and for years.”
