Divorce lawyers in my personal opinion have to be judged on a case by case basis!

Divorce lawyers surely, must be a special breed of human. I can’t for the life of me understand why anyone would want to go down that legal road for any reason other than financial reward. If you are the same age as me, somewhere around middle age that is, then you are bound to have heard some divorce stories that aren’t pretty. In fact many of them, once the divorce lawyers become involved turn out to be real horror stories.

I have a really good friend who literally turned into a monster once the divorce lawyers started filling her head with all sorts of crazy information. What was going to be an amicable divorce, and fair to both parties, turned out to be horribly acrimonious. Even now, some 3 years down the road she is still popping anti-depressants to help her get through her day.

Of course with all the bad stories there must be some good ones, and the same goes for divorce lawyers. Without them a lot of divorce settlements would be unjust, so they do have an important place in the system. I have another friend who has gone down this road and her husband was a real jerk and a bit of a bully. She had a great divorce lawyer who got things sorted out real quickly for her, and got her the settlement that she deserved. It cost her though, but in this case it was worth every cent.
