I would offer advise to a friend along the following lines:
Seek formal mediation
Put forth a case that she feels is in the genuine best interest of the kids
Keep emotion to a minimum when it comes to her relationship with her husband.
Emotion is fine in relation to the children
Keep it factual - lies and exageration once proven false create a real issue.
Mainly they should try mediation away from the kids to keep their stress to a minimum. Just because they are going through a divorce doesnt stop them being parents to their kids.
