Oh, I know how Halacha views the system and that’s why I said -“That’s nice -So what?”
“I know Halacha and our Court system probably better than you.
Save your Mercy for this girl for s/o that deserves it.
Her parents failed on the job and they probably by now realize it – so they should help her out financially and anyway they can.”
One may not accept an akkum (gentile) as judge. The Shach immediately qualifies this halacha.
One may not be mekabel (accept) and indeed kabala does not help, is the institution of Arkhaoth. The institution of gentile courts, the institution of gentile law, the acceptance of the gentile judicial system is something we cannot accept. The acceptance of the system of Arkhaoth is pure issur, and hence making a condition to contravene the Torah will be of no avail, because with issurim, obviously, his condition has no validity.
This may be the meaning of a seemingly strange equation posited by R’ Yosef B’khor Shor who says the following:
“Our Rabbis interpreted be judged ‘before them’ and not ‘before the judges of the gentiles.’ For just as it is written ‘from amongst your brothers you shall appoint to yourself a King,’ (Deut. 17:15) likewise the Torah warns not to appoint a gentile judge on Israel.”
In other words, the halacha puts the stress on not accepting the institution of nochrim (non-Jews). Whether we deal with political institutions or judicial institutions – Arkhaoth – it is the institution of Nochrim that we may not accept upon ourselves.
I took that from R”Simcha Krauss. This is relevant because you are the one arguing that the secular court has the moral authority to do whatever they want. I am not trying to embarrass you but please see how foolish you are being. Every new statement you make like “I know more halacha and about the secular courts than you do” or “what the judge did is just like ones father hitting him” simply makes you look uneducated both in regard to halacha & hashkafa. I am not trying to embarrass you and sorry if I did.
