The High Cost of Divorce
Divorce is so expensive and complicated that it leaves many poor people trapped in bad marriages.

Sara met her future husband when she was 18. He struggled with drug and alcohol addiction, but Sara thought marriage would change him for the better. It didn’t. Sara gave birth to two kids before the age of 25, and she says her husband grew controlling and abusive. A few weeks ago, he got drunk and punched her in the face repeatedly, she says, and she realized they had to divorce.
Is the author trying to get the readers to pity the fact that women who marry bad boys don't have the cash to divorce?She initially had trouble getting a lawyer to represent her. “I have reached out to every lawyer that I can to see if they’ll represent me, but because I have no money, nobody will,” she told me recently.
Time to "man up", boyos, and rescue these chicks!Getting divorced is also important if you are in an abusive relationship, or if you want to marry someone else.
