Just a piece of paper? People say this as if its no big deal, does not change anything and can always be reversed. Nothing can be further from the truth!
The legal process is hell - not just a matter of paperwork - huge legal fees, attack and counterattack , emotional turmoil. Then there's the division(loss) of children and property. Not having your kids in your custody all the time is a huge price to pay as is half the equity in your house, half your retirement savings, alimony, etc. And the family (where there are kids) is broken forever. Everyone loses including society at large. Its legally sponsored disaster!
My apologies to the owner of this thread but I'm fed up of hearing trite remarks like "divorce is just a piece of paper". And true, M is not a piece of paper either - its much, much more - that's why we came here to fight for it.
