Everyone except the lawyers suffer. Ours 'encouraged' us to virtually go to war against each other. Now, several years on we can both see that it was not what either of us wanted - and the ones to suffer most were the children.

Please help people to maintain respect for each other & the families involved, when parents break up.

The impact upon the kids is immense and we MUST make sure that society does all it can to make divorce as smooth a transition as it can be. It will never be plain sailing but by making marital/cohabiting laws and finances more suitable to today's society, a lot can be achieved.
Good luck!
