Richard Ducote on Exposing Family Court Failures: A Four-Decade Fight for Justice

In these cases, if kids are not protected, it's not the fault of the law, it's the fault of the judges, it's the fault of the attorneys, it's the fault of the health professors.
Imagine fighting for justice in a system that seems rigged against the very people it’s supposed to protect. That's the reality attorney Richard Ducote has faced for over 40 years. In this episode of 'The Never Give Up Show!', host Bailey Smith sits down with Ducote to uncover the grim truths about how family courts handle domestic violence and child abuse cases.
Ducote's journey began right after law school when he created a program to train attorneys for abused and neglected children. Since then, he's represented over 100 children and fought tirelessly to reform the foster care system. His stories reveal a system riddled with cover-ups and failures, where children often end up in unsafe homes. But it’s not all doom and gloom.
Ducote shares the strides he’s made in bringing awareness to these issues and his ongoing efforts to train lawyers who can make a real difference. This episode also touches on ACE (Adverse Childhood Experiences) awareness, mental health coping strategies, and the power of community support. Whether you're directly affected by these issues or just want to understand the challenges better, Ducote's insights are eye-opening and deeply moving.
