Atheist Mom Forced Into Court-Ordered Christian Counseling

110. As I said before that was her choice

As I pointed out, this counselor was one she picked, the courts do NOT pick the counselor. I suspect her lawyer mentioned this counselor for she was know to be cheap, fair and quick. Thus the ten sessions were over within a month.

If this woman did not want to do what this counselor wanted, all she had to do was name someone else as her counselor and the courts would have approved the change. Now the other counselors probably had office hours away from the court house, thus she would have to travel to those offices, taking days off work to do so. The Scheduling would have been measured in two to three months instead of the less then the month mentioned in the article. Thus I suspect her attorney told her to finish up with this counselor, for it be over in a month, as oppose to going to someone else, where she would have to wait two to three months to get her children back. It is a tough choice, but the courts will look upon it as the choice of the Mother NOT something they are imposing on her.

Sorry, I see where she feels she was "Forced" to comply with something she rejected, but the Courts will rule that was her choice, she had the option of going to someone else, who probably had a more filled calendar and not get her in for months. Remember Counseling is done by PRIVATE ENTERPRISE not the Courts and not the Government.

One thing I can say about religious base counselors is they are more willing to work around people's schedule then non religious based counselors and why they are popular with the courts. You take the good with the bad when you opt for one, in this case we are hearing the bad parts.
