J P Ghetty once said: “I will give my entire fortune for ONE happy marriage”. Michelle MacDonald’s client’s often tell her say they will never get married again, to which she replies “This is your last divorce, not your last marriage.”
“Someday, in the not so distant future, children will look up at their elders and say ‘ You mean families used to be able to sue each other in court?’”

LISTEN TO LINK ABOVE…Attorney Kimberly Hanlon, and mediator Anita Motolinia join attorney Michelle MacDonald, and her client, Benedictus Ombuna, whose tragic custody case inspired Family Innocence – the organization. Hear Benedictus’ heartbreaking story, from the perspective of “family innocence”, starting with the death of his wife; the disappearance of his son at a routine bus stop; and the wrongful ex parte (no notice) family court “custody order”. The case ended with the Judge removing himself, dismissing the relative’s custody orders, and a finding of NO COURT JURISDICTION — back to “family Innocence.” But the months of being separated from his son, and the costly, unneccessary litigation that his family could not afford, irreparably damaged the parent-child relationship. Benedictus’ case proved to be a world-changer for 25 year family law attorney Michelle MacDonald, to call attention to the concept of “family innocence”, and the simple fact that family matters are NOT court matters.
The Judge’s talk at the Family Innocence Judge’s Social was phenomenal… 22 minutes of pure genius…
