Some attorneys don't even know the difference between slander and libel. Its a wacky world.

In the case of divorce, you are dealing with people whose lives are broken, expecting you to fix them, and it ain't doable. There will be no justice, no fair and equitable, no nothing of the sort. So this only leaves you with finding any money that there may be on the table and getting your hands on it, instead of someone else. For the love of christ, man; if you have any self-respect whatsoever, consider becoming a crack-whore or stand on a street-corner and suck cock for a couple bucks a pop, at least you will be doing marginally useful work in society.

I am unclear as to why I should become a crack whore? And when I became a man. :)

Dear krys, This is just next in line and directed at the OP. I posted it in order, I had hoped the context would have indicated that. Sorry for any anxious moments this might have caused you. Ron

I'm going to jump on the fence here, as per my usual fashion. Doubtless lawyers do a lot of harm, but also they do a lot of good. All the people that we read our true crime stories about would not be there if it were not for the skill of lawyers. I think it balances out.

I think it balances out. There are good and bad lawyers. There are good and bad politicians... well, maybe not. Anyway, the point of the whole lawyer thing is when they stop working for their clients and begin working just to buy a Lexus. I do not think that lawyers shouldn't own a nice car or anything else like that, but it is the means in which they obtain their money that falls into question. They are supposed to represent the best interests of their clients and in doing so should do the work they were hired to do and not complicate matters. Divorce lawyers are mostly a loathsome bunch that feed off of the negativity between two people to line their own pockets. They make unnecessary legal motions that result in court appearances. They normally do not try to reach an equitable solution to the marital assets and if they do try, a good amount of the time, that ends up in court also. There are many things that could be settled without the intervention of the courts, but court is where the lawyers make their most money and therefore there are few things settled outside of court. Divorce is a terrible thing and you do need legal representation for the most part to protect your interests. Causing more friction where there is no need to do so is not the lawyers job but sadly this happens more than it doesn't.

lol. Gauge, your representation of the process, simply based on My experiences, is inaccurate. There are Laws behind everything that is done and when you end up in Court, you end up in Court for a reason. Mediation is there, true. You can divide assets and ascertain the custody of the children. However normally it is the COUPLE, and NOT the lawyer, who drags the process before the Courts.

While I have the highest respect for your viewpoint based on your own experiences, I have been around the legal profession all of my life. There are far more bastard barristers out there than there are lawyers with good ethical practices. This is not to say that all lawyers are bad, in no way have I meant to imply that. Judging on your own experience with your divorce you had a very amicable one and suffered little through the legal process. The horror stories far outweigh the stories like yours. I would agree that a good amount of the time it is the clients that are acting like children but manipulation of that is quite easy to do also. My ex's lawyer has caused problems where there were no problems. I have been to court and had the judge look at my ex's lawyer and ask, "Why are you here?" Abusing the process simply for financial gain is unethical and wrong.

SirKenin -> RE: Nasty Divorce -- Your Experience (3/8/2006 5:16:57 PM)
Heh. I am sure the rogues are out there, like there are in every profession, including My own. It is just that most of the time I do not see there being a problem. Being a big pain in the touche to the Courts does not exactly go in your favor.
