no never
trying hard to think of some out there possibility...
think it is quite unrealistic
and I am not naive about issues within families and litigation
a mother....? extremely unlikely unless like she had some personality disorder then maybe or a history of abuse chas v shalom something really extreme
unfortunately sibs I would have to believe possible R"L
sadly people can get very litigious and angry over money

The story in the ami was so sad. I don’t think the mother did the right thing but she really had her hands tied behind her back
She tried her best. It’s an impossible situation
All I could think was, that poor poor mother

while she is under tremendous pressure and I feel for anyone in that position
she does indeed have a choice
as do we all
some are harder than others
and we are always responsible for our decisions

and...anyone should first ask a rov
and get a good therapist for guidance in such a situation particularly with these ongoing chronic dynamics

I did not read the story so I am only responding to the subject title.

My father used to take me to court with him if he had a ticket and wanted to fight it (speeding, etc.). It was horrible when I was a kid. He'd say I was his good luck charm because he always got out of the ticket if I came. He did not take me out of school, but if I was home sick, he'd make me go with him (imagine a little kid with a fever and vomiting, sitting in the court room). It happened a handful of times.

I’m so sorry!! I actually didn’t read your full post and now I did.
I thought it was a joke because the story was about actually taking your child to court, as in suing them.
It was clear that this was in reference to that story, I thought you were making a clever play on words and didn’t fully read your response

I’m truly sorry for the trauma you went through as a child

So this story was about a mother who took her kids to court over a disagreement over money? I find it chilling. I'd love to say unrealistic but sadly I've seen worse.
When I saw your title I was going to answer based on that. As a kid I was always fascinated over the courtroom scene. I would have loved to watch a trial as long as it wasn't a murder one.
