# Court of human relations. \[1959-07-13\]

A three-member board mediates disputes and disagreements submitted for review by the people involved. Complainants and respondents are interviewed by A.L. Alexander and the mediators. In this episode, the board considers two cases. In the first case, a woman wants to be the sole mother of her fiancee's children. She and the father both feel that the children will be happier with only two parents. He is the custodial parent, as his ex-wife walked out, leaving him with the children. The mother of the children says she loves her children very much, and does not want to give up her rights to see them. She would be happy to take custody of them, if her ex-husband was willing to provide her with financial support. In the second case, a woman is unhappy with her appearance and wishes to get plastic surgery. She believes her appearance caused her marriage to fail, and hinders her in her career. Her family is opposed. Her brother disagrees with her self-assessment. He says she is popular, good-looking and has a great job history. He wants her to stay as she is.
