Fairfax, Va. lawyer Olivier Long's essay on the recent Gudino case, and the opinion itself, provide a fascinating look into how American courts decide custody cases, and review them on appeal. These loud, violent, mentally disturbed parents faced off in court and the father came off looking better. The best of many choice quotations is probably one from one of the children: "whereas she felt like she lived with 18 screaming monkeys at her mother’s house, at father’s 'we are just three screaming monkeys.'”
