Because divorce is bad? Divorce can be a good thing, good marriages don't usually end in divorce, more than likely the bad marriages do. So then maybe because you think people going through a divorce shouldn't have good legal representation? What is your argument?
- x0x0 12y agoYes, most people shouldn't. Unless you've never seen two people piss away tens of thousands of dollars having legal tantrums, fully supported by their lawyers. Most people, particularly in CA, a community property state, should be able to get divorced for $500 or so. Of course, that requires that they be adult, and that no lawyers get paid (or encourage their clients to fight, all while paying them $x00/hour).
- VieElm 12y agoHow nice it must be to know what's best for people you know nothing about. I'm sure they love it when complete strangers with judgmental attitudes feel the need to interfere with their private lives.
- x0x0 12y agoCommunity property means person1 and person2 are going to get 1/2 of the assets earned during the marriage. You can get there cheaply or expensively. Lawyers get paid when you get there expensively -- and thus have an obvious incentive to inflame a negotiation between two aggrieved parties. I'm not sure why that makes me judgmental about their private lives.
