Are divorce lawyers parrially to blame for the skyrocketing divorce rate?

Thanks to lawyers, you can get a divorce over the internet now. Are we focusing too much on an easy out, and not enough on correcting simple problems like irreconcilable differences?

Well if you didn’t have 2 parties who felt they couldn’t stand being with one another anymore, you wouldn’t NEED the lawyers now would you?

The old law of supply and demand.

Of course, they have some blame, but it is more our disposable country and that thought process that drives divorce.

No, people just make mistakes.
We tend to rush into things without taking in the whole picture before we do. We are all only human.

No. The people getting the divorce are. They are the ones seeing the lawyers, right?

No. Too many people getting married for the wrong reasons—-sex, money, security, status.

I don’t think you can really blame the lawyers themselves. The lawyers are just filling a niche. If people didn’t feel the need for a quickie divorce in our ever-increasingly frivolous must-have-it-now society, they wouldn’t be practicing. You may debate whether what they do is right or wrong, but the fact is enough people want this service to make it widely available.

The lawyer is not to blame, they are just filling a needed service.
