OK, the question is one that even thinking about answering makes you feel a little bit morally compromised. If speaking to a close friend, who really would be better off getting divorced, you might with a heavy heart tell them – in seriously conciliatory language – that maybe, yes, they would be best advised to seek a formalized separation leading to a divorce.

Divorce is an upsetting process. Strong emotions of anger can remain for years. Mind-set of being cast off can even be carried over to new relationships. For many divorcing couples, the most painful part of the proceedings is often the loss of self-esteem. Confronted with hardhearted thoughts of fear and anger, many people in the process of divorcing each other are often distraught by the ease in which they seem to forsake values that they had held in deep regard such as empathy, compassion, and respect.

When such humanitarian values are given up, it results in the loss of self-esteem and self-respect that is often seen in divorce procedures.

As each lawyer failed to obtain one single worthwhile benefit for me, I fired them and hired another one. I couldn’t help but notice that I was never allowed to speak directly to the judge and I felt that these people were not saying what I wanted them to say as well as I could. So in the end I fired them all and decided to represent myself in court In Pro Per (as my own attorney). It was then that I learned the most important lesson of all:

A friend of mine is wanting to file for divorce, but just recently got married- 2 months ago in fact. The marriage contract was done as a ANC, with no accrual system. there is no splitting of assets, and no children involved. Her husband was physically abusive, and she made up her mind to leave. some of the pricing that she has got has been 5k or close to that. Surely there is some other way of getting the procedure done for less?
