Rating:2.0
Comments:
McLaughlin fails to understand that it only takes one person to make a coparenting dynamic hostile. She's condescending when she says "I'll have to make the decision because you two can't." I've heard this statement from her repeatedly in my hearings and observing other hearings.

She is incapable of being firm, making decisions, or upholding the mediator's recommendations or the previous judge's orders.

She's a big proponent of giving abusers 3rd and 4th chances and just wants everyone to get along. She coddles and enables men who insist on putting their needs above their kids.

Great in theory but we're divorcing for a reason.

Stay away!
