Self-declared sovereign citizens, who believe Australia’s laws do not apply to them, are having a serious impact on the family court, experts say

Kind of odd to me becase even if you do believe this, the judicial institutions have armed police and jails on their side and you have your thumbprint, (unkess your name is Train I guess, which was a whole other thing) seems a losing battle from the get go? Whats the upside ?

Tbh if you pull that sovcit bullshit in court it should count against you. The idea is to keep kids in stable homes.

Sure but some people get passionate about their children and partners separating can be toxic. Not the time when most peoole are going to make sane choices, so i have some empathy.

I don't have kids, had a vasectomy decades ago as the world is full but i have some empathy. Seems a weird choice to make though, as a sovcit, as there is no upside ? The police and courts have all the power and yiu can try and use them to your best advantage but saying they hold no sway over you seems bizzare.
