Abuse from Family Court employee leaves man `gutted'

When a Christchurch man approached the Family Court for advice during his marriage break-up, he did not expect an earful of abuse.


Dale Truman said that after he had explained his problem, a Family Court employee laughed at him and told him: "I'm leaving in two weeks; I don't give a f... about your problems." Truman, of Heathcote, who is on an invalid's benefit, was appalled by the conversation on August 4.
