Divorce is a harsh and demoralizing way to resolve issues that have not been tackled in other ways. Many people file for divorce before trying other options that can repair damaged relations.

Research shows that up to 80% of divorce cases are "low-conflict" couples who have not learned the skills needed to maintain a healthy relationship. Learning these skills is a "solution" that is much less destructive than going through a divorce.

And most important, if you have children, you need to consider how the "loss of an intact family" will affect your children.

And, the first step is saying "No" to an unwanted divorce.

Since no-fault divorce was rolled out across the country, most spouses understand it means "no way to stop it". But, don't let stop you from doing what you believe is 'right'.

Marriage was not meant to be a "throwaway" commodity - something that you shed when things get rough . . . . or something that the other partner can just walk away from and then file using the "no-fault" ground. But, that's the way it works now. And, for those who have a real complaint, they are not given any opportunity to file it since no-fault is essentially the law of the land.

Typically, if you hire a lawyer, he/she will just tell you that there is nothing you can do but "reach a good settlement". The problem is, lawyers have been trained to believe that and only a handful of them will stand up to the current system because doing so will offend the judge. So, lawyers are now perpetrators in an insidious process that could be named "forced" divorce.
