“sounds like this pearlperry woman is trying to get media attention bec shes losing the custody battle for her kids in court. Apparently , she was found to be unstable (bipolar mayb?) to get custody..”
This is not true. The reason she may lose in secular court is because she agreed (under threat of not receiving a Get) to Arbitrate custody in a B”D. Once you sign an arbitration agreement the secular courts will generally uphold anything the “Arbitrator” (in this case B”D awards. The B”D awarded her custody ONLY if she stays within certain guidelines of frumkeit.
And that’s were the problem is. If she had not signed an Arbitration agreement there would be no question that she would get custody.
