My "friend" has considered divorce as a final solution but feels he cannot proceed for

- fear of losing/limiting access to his children
- HAP (now that I have a name for it)
- negatively impacting the lifestyle of the children

He would be more than willing to sacrifice anything personally to remove the constant negative influence of the embittered spouse from the children he loves but fears the court system because he's seen that the only beneficiaries are the lawyers and wife (and then only if he backs down on most issues, thereby limiting the lawyer's cut).

Justice? Where? None that I can see, pretty much a given, unless the wife has a criminal record and history as an abuser (not in this case), the male parent WILL LOSE!!!! Simply wrong
