speaking of divorce, do we think lawyer lawyer couples are more or less likely to get divorced?
I hope not
Anecdotally, I think they are less likely to get divorced. But whenever people started pairing up and getting married in law school, I always thought that they were crazy, and that it would certainly end badly.
I only do family law. I have never repped a criminal or family law attorney during their divorce, only civil attorneys. Hands down, attorneys are the worst divorce clients. The one divorce I handled with two civil law attorneys, one on each side of the V was the worst, squared.
I agree. I represented a prosecutor who thought it was okay to call opposing counsel and threaten him. A female attorney physically attacked her spouse, was arrested for DV, and was shocked when she was denied primary physical custody. They are entitled and noncompliant. Nightmares.
What do lawyers use as contraceptives?
… their personalities
It doesn’t matter if two lawyers marry. In my observation, here is what makes marriages last:
1. Similar views and approaches to the following: child rearing, finances and religion. That’s not to say that there is one particular way that is more conducive to marriage, or that one should or should not have kids or should or should not be religious. It only matters that you are on the same page.
2. Strong communication and conflict resolution skills. When couples are quick to forgive, quick to adjust to meet their spouses needs, have open lines of communication and put the other spouse first marriages last.
3. Healthy sex life. One of the best parts of this profession is the ability to slip out of the office for a quick nooner with the Mrs. God Bless American Jurisprudence.
When my parents married in 1947 (they never divorced) the minister said, “I will tell you the basis for a happy marriage: Never go to bed mad at one another and never air your dirty laundry in public.” It worked.
“Never go to bed mad at one another.”
Yeah. But, on the other hand, there’s a lot to be said for just sleeping on it. In perspective of morning’s light, what irked you last night might not seem like a big deal anymore. And if you refrain from forcing a conversation before bed (when you’re tired and frustrated), you won’t worry in the morning about what you said poorly the night before.
It’s such a fine line. Some things need to be addressed immediately before they turn into something bigger. But I’m a big proponent of the “sleeping on it” method. My s/o and I agreed in such a situation, all the other person has to say is “I’m really tired and I would much prefer to talk about this further in the morning.” As long as there is no storming off or silent treatment, it’s kosher.
There is no liberal bandwagon upon which Aaron Ford will not jump. He thinks nothing through. The only inquiry is ‘did someone on our political team propose it?’ How TP did someone so clueless and incompetent become the AG?
Voters, bruh. They will put the most incompetent person in the world into office. See Exhibit A in the White House.
Which is exactly why power should be both limited and divided. We have almost never sent our best and brightest to high office.
Well, they tried, but Kammie didn’t make the cut.
IMHO Chris Rock espoused the best and most concise advice for a lasting marriage: “Just keep f—-ing.”
Well, with the number of women initiating divorce, men better be good at it.
That’s fair.

From several dozen experiences over the years. He is a top notch attorney and keeps his word. He is who I would hire if I were in trouble.
Nobody GAF what you think.
You are thinking about Gentile. You are upset. You resent him. You are indignant.
Meanwhile, Dominic has never thought of you and has no idea who the fuck you even are.
How do you like them apples?
Hmmm. Interesting THWACK today. Dominic is who I would call if I needed him.
