After seven years of marriage Madonna and her husband, Guy Ritchie, have decided to divorce.  Although no settlement has been reached at present, reports indicate that both parties want an amiable and quick resolution to the process.

The Attorneys at Leeds Morelli & Brown P.C. commend Madonna and Guy Ritchie on their decision to handle this difficult time in their lives in a mature fashion.  In a world of contentious high profile divorces like the fiascos involving Sir Paul McCartney and Heather Mills as well as Christie Brinkley and Peter Cook, it is refreshing to see this couple is attempting to take the high road. 

Contentious divorce proceedings are unfortunately not unique to celebrities.  In many cases the parties have hurt feelings, and desire to punish each other.  They spend thousands of dollars fighting over insignificant possessions or small amounts of money just to deny them to their spouse.  There are indeed things that are worth fighting for; for example protecting the best interest of the children of the marriage however petty disputes are seldom worth the time and cost. 

Good attorneys fight hard for their clients, but great attorneys go the extra mile and perform the role of a counselor at law.  During divorce emotions run high, and it is important to have experienced attorneys, like those at the law firm of Leeds Morelli & Brown P.C., that can help you keep perspective.

Is there anything you own that you would pay more than its value to keep it?  What sort of things are worth fighting for in your opinion?
