Go to divorce court for a day, and you probably will find yourself cringing the whole time. The enormous bulletin board just across from the elevators on the third floor of the courthouse lists what trials are scheduled for that particular day.
Today there are five divorces scheduled for hearing.
Five in a day is not too bad considering one in every two divorces will end up in court. Kids want to be here no more than they do the doctor's office. Here they are usually the center of argument, as little Joshua is in the Jones case. Joshua, who is no more than three, clumsily staggers across a multi-colored rug catering to both English and Spanish speaking victims of divorce. Perhaps the black eye patch over his left eye caused him to lose his balance.
