The case of Joe and Beth articulates that both are aware of the problems facing their relationship and knows why they have opted for counseling. It is clear that, Joe and Beth are not interested in what happened or where they have been; they are rather concerned with where they want be.

In this paper I will be arguing the points of why family courts should be the last thought when going through a divorce involving children and their psychological well-being in the stages of a child to an adult.
