Divorce has now become the order of the day in our present society. It’s quite appalling how the sweet couple who were wedded today are at each other’s necks tomorrow.

You attend a wedding today only to hear that the couple will be separated tomorrow. You sit back and wonder what could have gone wrong between them, but the fact still remains that you can never know.

There are some who seek divorce over a minor thing that could have been settled amicably between the two parties. Come on, can’t they focus and build on what brought them together in holy matrimony in the first place?

All in all, the couples know best why they wish to separate, so they go looking for a divorce lawyer who will bear the responsibility for the division of assets and debt among the couple. And if there are kids involved, the divorce lawyer makes sure to put forth the terms for child custody and, of course, child support.

With all these in place, you will still see certain individuals who still choose to fight tooth and nail to keep certain assets, or worse still, not want custody of their own kids. Well, a Redditor has taken to the r/AskReddit community to ask and read more about the worst divorce cases from the divorce lawyers of Reddit.

That environment would be toxic for anyone to grow up in, but then if it’s worth settling, why not give it a trial since there’s no harm in trying?
