Publisher's Synopsis
A novel about a 4 year old boy set in the world of family-law. Breaking up is hard to do. 30% of British children are products of broken families, at the mercy of parents making good decisions. But, trawling this richly rewarding seam of misery, parents at their lowest ebb in life during separation, are predatory highly-paid members of an entitled society, family-law, profiting from a process widely accepted to be 'parental alienation and child abuse.' This for-profit abuse continues largely in secret while child abusing judgments are defended by arcane contempt laws protecting miscreants from any accountability. Who Lies Wins is the story of one child, Sam, 4, told over a 6-year period in which the inner workings of family court are laid bare. Based on actual judgments made in family-court, Sam's story explores the need for change to family-law, putting forward child-centric possibilities for replacing a broken family court service with a new corruption free model effectively representing children's rights post separation.
