[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Years ago before I finished my JD, I worked as a legal assistant to a seasoned attorney who did big money and often high conflict divorces.

I once said to him after drafting yet another settlement agreement that I should’ve married for money.

He replied that if you marry for money, you’ll earn every penny the hardest way possible.

As it turns out I never married at all - yet, anyway, and I’m now 53. I spent a number of years doing family law and a number doing criminal law and decades observing marriages up close.

I the majority of cases love doesn’t last and money comes the very hardest way. [/quote]

Family and criminal lawyer?  Your job has jaded you. [/quote]

I was well jaded about marriage before I ever went to college, having observed many marriages up close in my youth - those of family, people I babysat for, people I housecleaned for, people I delivered newspapers to, etc. It's always fun to hear retired couples screaming at each other and having to knock on the door and ask for the subscription fees.

I knew long before I practiced family law that the large majority of marriages were miserable.
