We need parents to see this as important. Unfortunately, if all the parents saw these conversations as important, they'd be having them with their children themselves.
A lot of parents think to themselves, "I want to impart MY values about sex to my kids". And that's fine, except they usually don't. The fact that we're thinking about using the school system as a backstop for preventing sexual undereducation says a lot about American society.
A great book about this phenomenon is Red Families vs Blue Families.
Oh, god no. He should read this, and then get a job at a fat-food restaurant.
I have so many questions. Like, there was a Yemenite girl who divorced her perpetrator at age 10. That makes Yemen a better place for human rights.

Sorry it took me so long, I tracked down the book. It's Get It Together: Organize Your Records So Your Family Won't Have To by Melanie Cullen. You can see a sample template if you look at the book preview. It's intended to help you build a complete and organized binder for survivors, but obviously you can pick and choose what you'd like to add. It's an absolutely fantastic book, and has given us such peace of mind.

There's too little space here to give you much information. I suggest asking your local library for help. They should have plenty of books that can help. Some about the legal system, and some novels that feature the legal system.

The process would be mediation (required before going to court) and then applying to the court.
You can DIY it if you can’t afford a solicitor. If you’re going to do this you really need to get the book “The Family Court without a Lawyer: A Handbook for Litigants in Person” https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/099358361X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_ZZBMXKHJ8R9PQX9V8ARE

Who's "they"? Would that be Michael Cohen and David Schwartz? Because if it's them, won't they have to brush up on what "motions" are first?
If you do brief, you really want to focus on the issue, holding, and the key facts pertinent to the court's analysis. Also be mindful of hypos that your professor explains in class. What you want to do is set aside time each week to outline, which will help you understand the material. As for book briefing, you can do the multi-color highlighting method, or you can note in the margins of your book the issue, plaintiff's arguments, defendant's arguments, holding, and analysis. I am not sure which edition you are using but I found this searching on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Casenotes-Legal-Briefs-Procedure-Casenote/dp/1454805161.
I'm not a con law lawyer, but I have a decent fundamental understanding and I can try to clarify any questions you have. But that book is a great primer on con law, it summarizes the case law book written by the foremost scholar on con law, Chemerinsky.
When I heard the name, I immediately recalled that she has a book. Saw it at Target when I was walking by the book section a few days ago.
