So why is it that every lawyer, advisor, or social worker references this story when two sides in a divorce cannot reach a seperation or custody agreement? How does this story apply to life currently, and how the law is written in child custody battles.
Here is the story just in case you forgot it:
"Two women came before Solomon to resolve a quarrel over which was the true mother of a baby. When Solomon suggests dividing the living child in two with a sword, the true mother is revealed to him as she is willing to give up her child rather than see the baby killed. Solomon then declares the woman who shows compassion to be the true mother, and gives the baby to her." - (Wikipedia version)
I would love to hear a real life analysis of this story and what would really happen if the true mother would show compasssion.
