Are Enormous by Honorable Anne Kass. Ann Kass is a District Judge in the Second Judicial District State of New Mexico.
Most people seem to know that divorce litigation can cost a lost of money for legal fees.
If expert witnesses are involved, their fees are over and above that. One emotional cost of litigation is that it encourages the litigants to focus on the past, which diverts their time and energy from the present, and the present often just slips away. Litigation also invites litigants to avoid taking responsibility for their own lives. This also leads people to feel helpless. Litigation tends to foster polarized thought processes.
