While we're deviating a bit from the normal probate administration, wills and trusts and estate planning, a word about divorce. Divorce is, for many, truly gut wrenching. Listed by some psychologists as the most stressful situation next to losing a child. It's a legal proceeding, but emotions run wild over it. RARELY do you see an amicable divorce. Some are like the War of the Roses; fighting over 6 vs 7 days with the children, getting jewelry back, trying to score off the more solvent spouse because the other had dissipated their money...and on and on. I have come to a place where I am very hesitant about taking a divorce; because of all too often the fighting goes on out of spite, an attorney's hostility, a desire to bankrupt the other side into submission. So many divorces take place because of financial problems. How can anyone expect them to be solved by breaking up the household into 2 units, with each paying fees to fight over how to split it. Never knew how glad I'd be and grateful that I never got married. Maybe it's the number of divorces I've done that's scared me away.
