Image
Divorce is unpleasant but planning and discretion can make it less so By Daryl Nelson, ConsumerAffairs.com It can happen to any couple, not just Tom and Katie. When people get married and utter those famous vows of matrimony, most convey those words with heartfelt sincerity. Sure it's all good when the rice is being thrown, and the soda cans are dangling from the car's rear, but for some, it goes completely downhill from there.
