7 Things That Just Aren’t True about the Divorce and the Legal System
It’s no surprise that, in a society that has been raised on a diet of cinematic court room dramas and reality TV, we tend to think we know what happens in a real live court room.
But, unless you have actually spent a lot of time in court yourself (which means you are either a judge, a lawyer, or someone with a boat load of legal problems), I can almost guarantee you that what you think happens in court, and what really happens in court are entirely different.
In this blog posting Karen Covey offers 7 things you may believe about divorce and the legal system that are not necessarily true:
You will get to tell the judge your story.
The judge will rule in your favor.
The court system is fast.
The court system is fair.
The judge can make your spouse stop doing stupid things.
When your spouse does something you don’t agree with, you can take him/her to court immediately.
If you go to court, you will win!
