Divorce is likely the most legally difficult and emotionally wrenching experiences a couple can go through, but it doesn't have to be that way. A recent survey of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers indicates that 58% of the lawyers responding said they are seeing more cases resolved without going to trial. Another recent study by the Institute for Marriage and Public Policy notes that a number of states have engaged in various legislative efforts to "reform" no-fault laws. This program is a practice-oriented roundup on the state of divorce law today, and relies on expert practitioners to talk about what approaches are making the process easier and mistakes lawyers make in this difficult area of practice.
