Bet You Didn't Know This About Your Divorce Lawyer

Shh! Don't tell anyone, but your divorce lawyer is secretly a hopeless romantic. Unlike the image often portrayed of divorce lawyers on television and in the movies, many divorce lawyers are not cynical, bitter, dried-up prunes who revel in breaking up families. We cry at weddings, and truly hope the couple will be happy. We get excited when our friends and relatives celebrate anniversaries. We turn to mush when a new life is brought into the world. So how can we stand being divorce lawyers? Because, despite the high stress levels, the false perceptions of us and some clients being unappreciative, we just can't stand to see people being miserable. When we see people who are being abused, children who are being neglected or raised in a war zone of their parents fighting, we want to help them get to a better place where they can be happy again. And that requires belief in "Happily Ever After."
