A term, not a typo

Not everyone who divorces does this.
This describes the ones who do.

"Divorcerapist" isn't a legal term. It's a name the public keeps reaching for when a parent, an attorney, or a judge uses the family court system to take more than any legitimate finding requires — more time, more money, more control.

Entry 2 divorce rapist/dɪˈvɔːrs ˌreɪpɪst/
noun
  1. A parent, attorney, or judge who uses custody or asset proceedings to punish rather than to resolve.
  2. Someone who treats a father's time with his children, or his money, as something to be taken because the system will allow it — not because a fact requires it.
  3. A pattern the public recognizes on sight, even without a court record to point to.
What it looks like

It's the parent who files for sole custody with nothing behind it. The attorney who bills both sides into exhaustion because the meter is the strategy. The account drained the week before the petition. The restraining order pulled out as a tactic instead of a shield. None of it shows up as a single crime. All of it adds up to the same result.
