Divorce is never easy. This is true in even the most amicable of splits. Once the decision to divorce is made, the parties to the divorce must decide which legal path is best to end the marriage. One option to consider is collaborative divorce. Collaborative divorce...

I’ve been looking for a good pun, using ‘Murder’ and ‘Murdaugh’ since they synch so beautifully, but this is the best I could come up with. “They” refers to the lawyers. All of them, both sides, but especially the defense. I’m thinking “Murdaughing a Case” could...
