I would be happy to see solicitors removed from the divorce process entirely and a panels of independent laymen appointed to adjudicate on divorce proceedings at first step.It would save the parties, the state amillions in costs, and more importantly a better more balanced chance for the future of the children involved . But too may too many "professionals" benefit by the parasitical system as it stands so I dont hold out great hopes.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7747759322341026313.post-6706440659524956272013-01-07T14:28:29.152+00:002013-01-07T14:28:29.152+00:00Well, obviously they aren't serious.
My first...Well, obviously they aren't serious.<br /><br />My first thoughts were that a) you are right that 40 quid + a day off work will exclude anyone with a real life from attending, and b) there IS no 'myth' about marriage to discuss.<br /><br />Marriage is something that has been around for thousands (?) of years, and people have just got on with it, until recently, when lawyers like this shower have become involved.<br /><br />But of course, Divorce has become a good source of income for lawyers.<br /><br />I certainly don't think that 'fault' should be reintroduced as a criteria of divorce. Often there is no 'fault' on one side that causes a relationship to break up.<br />When children are involved, it is surely in their interest that their parents rest the best of friends -and picking over who did what to whom is pointless if nobody involved is hostile, and would prefer to sort things out for the best.<br /><br />However,your views are interesting, and you should be allowed to argue them.<br /><br />I don't think that marriage contracts would encourage people to get married at all (and I am pro marriage, for reasons that you would find obvious). To my mind there has got to be a division of <br />time spent in the home, and with children, and time spent on careers, which is bound to be unequal in purely financial terms.<br />Those terms are things which are personal to a couple, and I would hope that people getting married do it in a spirit of optimism ( " for better or for worse"), and the less lawyers can stick their noses in , the better !Elsienoreply@blogger.com
