Common Sense Legal Sense and Nonsense About Divorce

It would never occur to husbands and wives to turn to lawyers or the law in their marriage. Rather when faced with questions that they have to answer they do this pretty much on their own based on their Common Sense. Nevertheless their marriage and their divorce are not the same. Thus though their common sense may have been sufficient in the past it may not be now which is why they are going to need help. Where are they going to turn? There is only one place that they can and that is the law. If the law will provide them with answers to their questions it will have been of great help and deserves to be complimented as representing Legal Sense. However if all that it does is leave them with a never ending debate as to what the right answers are it will not have been of any help and it should be labeled for what it is namely Legal Nonsense. That unfortunately has been and continues to be the sad legacy bequeathed to divorcing husbands and wives who have turned to the law. They are not given any help. All that they are given are false levels of expectation that are then inevitably followed by equivalent levels of disappointment. This book argues that divorcing husbands and wives deserve better than they have been given and shows how turning to the law can be transformed from representing legal nonsense to legal sense.
