A Divorce Lawyer’s Perspective on Love & Marriage - James Sexton (Video)

In this 14 March 2023 video from Modern Wisdom, host Chris Williamson sits down with James Sexton, a New York-based divorce attorney and author, for a discussion on marriage and divorce.

There are speakers, leaders, and coaches that offer guidance on living and maintaining happy relationships. However, it’s rare to find those who advocate for the opposite perspective: Why pursuing a divorce might be the smartest path for you and your significant other.

Expect to learn why so many marriages are failing today, if prenups actually work, wether men or women who struggle the most during and after the divorce, what the most common disagreements are during the divorce proceedings, wether marriage is a useful institution still, the best predictors of a declining relationship and more.
