Do Lawyers Make Divorce Less Predictable?

BRODER: I was asking lawyers to play judge here. And I was surprised that it was so disparate.

LAW TRIBUNE: What would be the advantage of having more of a framework of fairness, some default formulas to start with?

BRODER: I think predictability promotes settlement, and an efficient resolution is good for the children involved. Even resolving financial issues well is good for the kids. If the dispute drags on, if parents come home in a terrible mood, it's bad for the kids. And the children come first, and second, and third. •
