That costs you half of what you own. That's costly before you even figure out the percentage that goes to the person that sells the stuff for the couple. You've answered your own question.

If you and your spouse can communicate effectively, agree on things and are reasonably intelligent, you can get it done for a few hundred bucks.
The problem is, how many couples on the edge of divorce are communicating effectively?

Because it's worth it.

and even if that were the case, the woman always starts talking to her "advisers," and they start telling her what she's entitled to, and he should pay for this, and you should get that, etc., always seems to go down that path

Because they are worth it!
I think it has more impact if you make the punchline, "Because they're worth every penny..." - but that would be quibbling.

to the attorneys, they are usually the only beneficiaries in an ugly, contested divorce, I've spent enough to send my kids to any Ivy league school, and then start grad school, on attorney's fees, been divorced 10 years, and still going to court, lawyers love it

Not talking about your specific situation Triple7, but lawyers make the most money in fights that are primarily about standing on principle. Principles eliminate the economic consideration in the client's resolution equation. Consequently, such conflicts generate a lot of fees. Divorce is the king of the principled conflict. That said, I think many lawyers are frustrated by the inability to get to a result that is good for the client without running up fees by cases like this. On the other hand, many attorneys love to run the meter. Just have to find a solutions oriented attorney, not a billing whore.

it's not the attorneys. Do you really think they want to listen to some whining female complaining about how hubs doesn't wash the kids' clothes, he sleeps with his GF while they are in his custody, blah, blah, blah? It's always the clients being unreasonable that increases the costs. The men are typically pissed that they have to give up all that money, that they busted their arse to make; and the women think the man should continue to pay for their lifestyle even after they are divorced.

Me and the ex agreed on everything before hand. We found a practice that catered to poor people. Told him what we agreed on and he wrote it all up. It cost us $250. This was in 1999-2000.

I agree, not trying to lump everyone in the same category. I had to go through a couple of attorneys to get to the primary one(got several on the payroll, in a couple of states,) that I have, and I actually believe that he is frustrated by this entire mess(he still bills me
,) he's commented on what a black eye this case is to the entire system. Part of the equation that perpetuates/exacerbates the situation, is that the opposing attorneys have a greedy, spite driven, client, and they continue to advise her to keep up the fight because "it's on his dime."Posted on 6/11/14 at 2:08 pm to Mung

and rightfully so, but I approached mine as dissolving a business, knowing that it's going to cost something, but I really got nowhere with trying to be rational and fair, whatever was offered was never enough, because the inference from the other side was, he's got to be hiding something, if he's offering that, there's got to be a lot more somewhere
