S/he sucked.” Bottom line: there’s no such thing as the perfect divorce lawyer. I know this because I practiced law for 15 years before founding Hello Divorce.

We view divorce as an event. As if one day you announce, “I’m getting a divorce,” and the next day, your marriage is over. The truth is, it’s a journey. It’s a process. It’s a method by which you transition out of your marriage and re-prioritize your relationships, especially your relationship with yourself. Sometimes, there is still love. Sometimes, the love has long been extinguished. But one thing is certain. Hardly anyone leaves their marriage hoping for a nightmarish, high

All of these emotions influence how people handle the “business” part of a divorce.
