Divorce can be an expensive and ugly process if partners do not commit to resolve the problem.

Moreover, it has adverse psychological effects on the child. Knowing how to communicate to the children about separation is a challenge, so fighting for their custody can destroy them. Most of these disputes end up in a long and exasperating court battle.
