Collaborative Divorce Could Be Society's Wave of the Future

All Out War in Mass Divorces

There will never be anything soothing about MA divorce law until it changes from the inside out. Today's Boston Globe has a truly horrifying op-ed by Elizabeth Benedict called "The Chilling Effect of State's Divorce Laws" that exposes something quite dark and hideous about the most liberal state in the country. It's the most emailed article of the day. Divorce lawyers run the show and make fortunes on everyone's suffering. The second wives of divorced men and their children suffer horribly.

Please contact me if you are a reporter or a victim of MA laws and you want to find out more. Put "divorce laws" in the subject. No attachments please.

Yes, it looks like progress

I'm not a fan of divorce at all, but it is refreshing when two people so inclined REFUSE to turn parting into a hate fest, and REFUSE to let dueling attorneys walk off with significant portions of their assets which they could far better just split.
