I just posted a reply to this same thread of yours in the Spousal Support forum. I suggested a male attorney, but forgot to mention that he should, if possible, be SINGLE.
The reason for this should be obvious. Just as women normally take an interest in all the things their husbands are doing, so they take such interest in the present cases they are handling if the husband is a lawyer. It shouldn't take a rocket scientist to see that there is a good possibility that she will attempt to express to him her opinon of "the outrageous behavior of his client toward his wife", and that, in the name of fairness, he should try to represent this client in a way "fair" (read weakly and poorly) to the client's wife!
Being a lawyer, he knows full well that he must avoid initiating any conflict with his own wife which may eventually escalate to the point that she may divorce him, get the kids, half of all his assets, alimony and his house. In such a situation, this married lawyer is in the same boat as his clients and all other men, and is a slave to his wife's whims! Of course, when a man loses his divorce under these circumstances, no one knows why. You will only hear it here!
BTW, a man is, for the same resons, better off with a SINGLE male judge, as well!
