Advice From A Divorce Attorney?

I believe that divorce is one of the biggest epidemics in our current society that isn/' t being recognized or treated as such. As a marriage and family therapist- of course divorce is something that I am passionate about because it is something that I am spending my life to fight against. I am not ignorant enough to believe that I will see all cases of divorce end during my lifetime- nor am I ignorant enough to believe that all divorce cases even should be prevented. I am- however- perhaps ignorant in my belief that it is crazy for people considering divorce to get advice from a divorce attorney.

Now- most of you are thinking I/' m crazy. Who would go to a divorce attorney for advice about their failing marraige? Many people- unfortunately. I had no idea until I began working with marriages and families in crisis just how many individuals and even couples were seeking refuge and advice with their divorce attorney.

I was overwhelmed by my new knowledge for one primary reason. Have people considering getting a divorce forgotten that a divorce attorney is the very last person who will be concerned with them repairing a broken marriage? A divorce attorney makes a living helping married people get divorced while getting as many benefits from the divorce as possible. So why would any nearly-divorced person go to a divorce attorney in hopes of fixing their marraige? Beats me.

My advice to anyone struggling in their marriage is to make an appointment to visit a professional counselor or a marriage and family therapist. The core reason why I suggest this is because in general- counselors and therapists are people who deeply want to see marriages and families restored rather than torn apart. If I am looking for someone to help me fix my car- then it is far wiser to get help from an individual who actually believes that cars can be fixed- right? Of course. The same is true with marriage. Do not go for help to someone who believes that marriages should end easily and for any reason at all. Go instead to a professional who is trained in giving you wisdom about ways to make your relationship work.
