What do you like about this subject? Being able to suggest solutions that can help both sides to a dispute and then observing the succesful implementation of the solutions.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: Divorce does not have to be the defining trauma in the life of your family. If done right with the help of experienced professionals it can be used as an opportunty to move forward into rewarding relationships including that of becoming viable co-parents. How you treat each other at the outset will impact the future.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject The way the system is set up in USA is to encourage an initial aggression instead of first trying to obtain consensus through non adversarial means.
