Antlers: That negativity is NOT helpful here.

The Collaberative divorce process is different. Both lawyers work together to achieve the goal of obtaining an agreement that is acceptable to both parties. That is why it was developed. To make it LESS adversarial. Just because this was YOUR situtaion - it does not make it the ONLY way to get a divorce. You anger and negativity towards the system is quite obvious.

I HATED getting a divorce but my feelings are not directed towards the system. It is what it is and we have to lear to work within in it. If you don't like what your lawyer tells you - get another one. That's what I did.

Let's find HELPFUL suggestions to offer - not scare here off before she has even started.
