If the law states that parenting classes and mediation is required before both clients are aloud to go in front of the judge, than how does a judge let one party take the other party to court on more than 5 occassions, firvilously, and still has not been required to take parenting classes? Is this normal or against the law? I don't see the purpose of the law if a judge is not going to require it. Thanks
