How Do You 'Win' at Divorce? Stay Out of Court
Divorce has such dramatic potential, it's practically its own cinematic genre. The most recent example is last year's Oscar-nominated Marriage Story. Other films that depict divorce at its nastiest: Kramer vs. Kramer (starring Meryl Streep and Dustin Hoffman), Danny DeVito's War of the Roses and Ingmar Bergman's Scenes from a Marriage.
Like those movie couples, real-life divorcing couples often make a potentially traumatic ordeal even worse by turning it into a standoff and often, a zero-sum game. Although there will probably never be a movie made about a less-contentious and more cost-effective alternative to these high-profile divorce cases, there is a better way.
