Court is hyper intense .. and @Former-Member you did what you felt was right .. following through and testing the system out too.

I dont have a sense of the courts being able to deliver justice for me .. but I had to go through it to see my daughter before she went overseas

 I paid my "legal aid" ($2000) back after a couple of years. The barrister employed by the solicitor boasted that he got a cheater off the day before his case with me.. he was admitting the courts are skewed .. it is the system we all have to work with.. 

you had the determination to stand and speak your truth .. it will give you self respect in the long run that you did not cave in or was too afraid to take action.
