Factual error: The settlement reached with the negotiator would still have to be approved by a family court judge. Parents' relationships with their child(ren) are taken very seriously by the family courts. A judge would seriously question why a present ("in the picture") biological father's parental rights were being terminated. The agreement (with no visitation by the father) would not be viewed as being "in the child's best interests." A court order approving it as written would not be issued. (00:09:36 - 00:20:33)
Factual error: A negotiator is supposed to be neutral and detached (objective), but the divorce negotiator was biased in favor of lawyers Maggie and her father Paul. Even though the negotiator said, "We're all here for the same reason. We want what's best for the child", he totally failed to consider the biological father's (Jeff's) parental rights and Jennifer's right to see her father. Jeff pointed out, "I don't think it's fair she [Maggie] gets a fancy, mean negotiator just because it's her dad [Paul]." (00:09:36 - 00:10:04)
Factual error: Paul made a big deal out of son-in-law Jeff getting the New York "brownstone" [worth several million dollars], but an exterior view of Jeff looking out a window shows he is NOT in a true brownstone. This must be an end unit, but a brownstone should have all brick on the exterior side - not brick part-way and cement blocks the rest of the way. (00:38:39)
