Unlike many lawyers who thrive on the fighting of a divorce, I prefer to see my clients get a quick and as painless as possible resolution. I prefer my clients to have attended counseling before they decide to divorce. If divorce is the final solution, having a counselor help them to resolve conflicts without the lawyers turning it into a battle was great. I wholeheartedly agree with you that a counselor is a great step towards life after the divorce. If there are kids involved, the parents will have to deal with each other sometimes long after the children have grown. Establishing a positive means to communicate and work through problems is essential to staying out of court after a divorce. Great site and blog!
