Thematic arcs
Three arcs. One question.
The Baseline
What we actually know about family structure, child outcomes, and the empirical record — before the argument starts. Sets the standard the rest of the season is measured against.
The Legal Trap
How Ohio family court decides custody today, where the discretion lives, and why the current best-interest framework produces unequal outcomes even between fit parents.
The Classroom Fallout
What happens when the school inherits the aftermath. Attendance, behavior, achievement, and the systemic cost carried by public education.
