"The issue hasn't come up yet," Guthrie said. "I've learned never to say 'never, but I can't visualize something that would keep them from doing- it." Contempt charges could be a tool to assure compliance, and waivers can be granted in special cases, such as if a- spouse attempted to avoid the final decree, Brown said. Guthrie added the sessions are painless and require no effort. they have to do is sit and listen," he said.
"They don't have to talk, they don't have to take any tests." The program, offered in day or night sessions, is too new to have shown any results, the judges said.

"You can't withhold one or the other to gain one or the other." Nevertheless, many cases never seem to go away. "They keep coming back," Guthrie said. "That's one of the goals we're working for with the counseling.
If you settle the case well the first time, they don't come back." Brown said there is no harder case for a judge to decide. "Eventually you have to get to the point and ask the child the real question Where do you want to live?" Guthrie added divorce is hardest on children, who are often reluctant to discuss the matter or. express such opinions. Years ago I had a kid tell me, I just want everybody to stop fighting," he said. "That was tough.
"Sometimes nobody even realizes the kids are suffering," he said. "They're suffering in silence because the parents are suffering so bad they don't even realize the kids are getting beat up, too." Pardieck is hopeful the program will make parents sensitive to the issues that children may have surrounding the breakup of their family. "I would hope that it would help make parents aware that children shouldn't be used to get at the other one or as a PingPong ball between she added. It is not uncommon for children to find themselves trapped in the middle of their parents' anger, Pardieck said. "Children suffer," she added.

GOP Continued from page one the weekend when it was revealed that White House senior staffers had received three private briefings on the investigation from the Treasury Department. Special prosecutor Robert Fiske has subpoenaed White House officials involved, and White House chief counsel Bernard Nussbaum, who took part in the briefings, on Saturday announced his resignation.
Fiske is trying to learn whether funds from the failed Madison Guaranty Savings and Loan were diverted to the Whitewater Development a real estate venture owned jointly by the Clintons and James McDougal, the owner. The prosecutor also is investigating whether Madison funds were improperly used to help retire Clinton's 1984 gubernatorial campaign debt. Stephanopoulos said Sunday that Nussbaum quit because "he didn't want to become a lightning rod" for criticism of the administration. "We have to bend over backwards, to avoid even the appearance of any conflict, the appearance of any impropriety.".
