Keep in mind that the fees and costs are for each spouse. Your Children Are Watching Contrary to public perception, Divorce Attorneys practice in and are subject to a stressful, emotional enviroment. The longer and more bitter the battle, the bigger the fee. However, if you think that the fault lies solely with the attorneys you are missing the point. You, the client, make it all possible.
Clients often urge their attorneys to savage their spouse.
When that is your objective the price that you pay goes beyond dollars. It results in the loss of dignity, self-respect and post divorce impairment of your ability to enter into future relationships. Most importantly be aware that your children are watching. As hostility increases they become the innocent victims of the war. If that isn't enough reason to avoid the war, consider the gamble that you face.
