Lesson in Divorce Expenses

Rating: 8/10 (19 January 2020)

Before getting a divorce, examine whether it's worth hiring a lawyer to handle sticky situations that the two parties can resolve among themselves. If an arrangement can't be settled upon, then get a lawyer, the higher priced the better.
That's the lesson I walked away with when viewing Marriage Story. A brilliant script from a person who had first hand with divorce proceedings, this film details the breakdown of a marriage and the self-interests between the couple in wanting possession of their young child. The acting is justifiably well documented as being worthy of Oscars, and the narrative is pinpoint in its depiction of the struggles of a divorcing couple.
I guarantee that after the release of this movie the divorce rate will decrease since the pain and agony of splitting up is far greater than putting up with a selfish, cheating, argumentative spouse.
