Bang for Your Buck
Grab your wallet, take out your cash, and flush it down the commode. Do this every day for the next four years, maybe longer. Take your savings out of the bank and flush those funds down the commode as well. You laugh, but many of you are already doing that every day.

In emotionally charged domains like parenting and custody, intent offers something comforting: the belief that outcomes can be understood, and even forgiven, by examining what someone meant to do. Courts frequently ask whether a parent acted out of love, fear, confusion, or malice, as though the answer to that question can reliably predict what the child will experience over time.
