More money flows through the family courts, and into the hands of courthouse insiders, than in all other court systems in America combined - over $50 billion a year and growing. Through extensive research and interviews with the nation's top divorce lawyers, mediators, judges, politicians, litigants and journalists, this documentary uncovers how children are torn from their homes, unlicensed custody evaluators extort money, and abusive judges play god with people's lives while enriching their friends. This explosive documentary reveals the family courts as unregulated, extra-constitutional fiefdoms. Rather than assist victims of domestic crimes, these courts often precipitate them. And rather than help parents and children move on, as they are mandated to do, these courts - and their associates - drag out cases for years, sometimes decades, ultimately resulting in a rash of social ills, including home foreclosure, bankruptcy, suicide and violence. Solutions to the crisis are sought out in countries where divorce is handled in a more holistic manner.

| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertAny divorce survivor will see rueful reminders of a destructive process. Any engaged couple should see it, period. |
| New York TimesNicolas RapoldThe tone ranges from wounded to disgusted, but a movie positing this deep a rot in the system needs to be more measured and better made to take hold. |
| VarietyJustin ChangDivorce Corp. is reasonably cogent when it comes to explaining divorce-court terminology and statistics, even if it comes up somewhat short in terms of actual facts and figures. The filmmakers are far less successful when they start dragging in outrageous examples of official misconduct. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenAfter you see this entertaining documentary, you will be depressed about the U.S. divorce industry and may vow never to get married or have kids. |
| Film Journal InternationalEric MonderDocumentary tackles the divorce industry with the same zeal as the lawyers it rebukes. |
| RogerEbert.comMatt Zoller SeitzDivorce Corp is directed and edited at roughly the same level of imagination as a network newsmagazine story: talking head, talking head, talking head, cut to a chart, exterior shot of a courthouse, cut to another chart, talking head. |
| User ReviewUlf CFinally a documentary that dares expose the family law corruption! Excellent movie! |
| User ReviewJesse FThis is a game changer for the abusive family court system. The industry is run by self-serving litigating divorce attorneys and their cronies who prey on families in crisis for their own financial benefit. It's time to rein in this abusive system! |
| User ReviewNannette CFinally a movie the exposes the horror of the Family Court system. In Florida lifetime Alimony is awarded to a former spouse causing one spouse to pay for the other until death. These orders are given to spouses in their 30's and 40s. Many payers end up paying two or three times the length of the marriage, The legal fee's is most cases will drain the family of any savings or retirement. |
