Salt Lake City Divorce Lawyer
Looking back on the divorce issues of 2010 most of us might immediately think of the big celebrity break ups that dominated the headlines. No doubt the biggest divorce story of the year was the Tiger Woods fiasco with Sandra Bullock’s story in a close second. Eva Longoria, Steve Nash, and many others also decided to call it quits with their other half. However, big celebrity divorces were not the only notable stories surrounding divorce that emerged last year. In 2010, there was a substantial amount of divorce research that might forever change the way we view divorce, its effects, and how to move forward.
