"If parents are spending more money on Lawyers than they are on Family Counseling, then they have it backwards!"
This is a A great TEDTalk on the true costs of Divorce. In this video Stu Weintraub discusses the impact of conflict on his own son. Stu Weintraub is the author of The Heart of Divorce and the CEO of the Center for Child-Safe Divorce.
This talk advocates for alternatives to court, like mediation, to resolve separation and divorce issues and stresses the importance of minimizing the conflict that children are exposed to in a separation. Coming at it from the opposite side, as a lawyer, I could see this in my practice everyday. Children were suffering because of their parents conflict and I just could not be a part of it. It is really why I left my practice and started out on my own as a mediator.
