Many family lawyers are accustomed to dealing with clients who want to take a very combative, aggressive approach to the divorce process. Whilst this approach may make it easier for the client to obtain the outcome they desire (such as obtaining a larger-than-average amount of spousal maintenance or full-custody of their children) it can also make the proceedings incredibly stressful, lengthy and complex for those involved, and can create long-term animosity between the ex-spouses.
