subject: Why the Divorce System Became a Big Moneymaking Industry [print this page] It is undeniable that lawyers ask for a hefty price tag when it comes to handling divorce cases. This is also true to psychologists as well as psychiatrists. Because of the increasing rate of divorce in America and the growing demand of services for divorce cases, these professionals somewhat took advantage of families that are undergoing this process.
Any person who is undergoing divorce would say in an instant that the process is a very stressful one especially when it involves the children in the family. It is not only bitter for the ex-spouses but it is also equally hard for the children to see their parents in court battling over them, their home, and their surroundings. Given this, the judiciary system should make sure that they are able to come up with swift decisions when it comes to divorce cases, instead of prolonging the process in favor of lawyers and their client's bills.
The problem nowadays is that the divorce system fails to do this. Because of the long wait in getting a divorce, the lawyer's fees pile up, as well as that of the other charges. Instead of making a resolution, the lawyers would oftentimes advise their clients to drag the case further more to earn more. The dragging of the case in court further breaks the family apart because it exposes the children to more stress, and the stark reality of the situation around them.
The "family" court should reinvent themselves and refocus on what they were meant to do protect the family. Though the court cannot protect the family from the battling spouses, it can protect the family by protecting the children and not subjecting them further to more trauma, stress, and disappointments.
