Maybe it wasn’t a great business tactic on my part, but when I practiced family law, if I had doubts that the client’s narrative really warranted a divorce, I would ask probing questions during the initial consultation. I would point out the consequences of divorce if they hadn’t fully considered them. And I almost always asked if they had tried marriage counseling. To that last point, sadly, many of them had—obviously, without success. When couples delay seeking help, issues can become so deeply ingrained that they are difficult to resolve.
