Slam the Gavel welcomes a new guest, Gemma Bryant to the show. She is a stepmom to three beautiful children. She has experienced the family court system through her husband’s custody battle and is here to share how stepparents are treated in the family court system.
She shares her experience in order to help other parents and stepparents; assuring them they are not alone in their fight. Gemma also gave important tips on reading custody orders. She stresses the importance of this as a county can delete or change just a sentence which will affect the whole family and who has legal custody as well. Also, judges falsely apply the 16-factors to the "unfit" parent....It is also very important to show support as a court watcher to others going through custody hearings, Gemma explains, as good, fit parent need to know they have the support of others.
She also touched upon the school districts where they will interfere when they shouldn't. Gemma explained how they had over-stepped their bounds with one of the child's lunches and that led to a CPS issue. Thankfully that was easily resolved.
Making and keeping a commitment to your spouse during this stressful time is very important, Gemma stated as she watched her husband go through the family court system. You are now in it for, "the long haul."
Gemma also touched upon the importance of understanding what it is supposed to mean to be a sincere advocate for families, discuss 50/50 custody, and about how children’s voices are silenced, forcing to endure abusive environments.
