Yes.
Hypothetically speaking, imagine if you had an adulterous client who accused her ex of child abuse. You, of course, run the ex through the wringer. He protests innocence, but the judge sides with you and denies visitation.
A few years later, you find out through a colleague in the public defender's office that your client's boyfriend has been sexually abusing the children.

Strangest reason for a divorce?
Worst story of infidelity?
Any completely amicable divorces where spouses remained friends?

1. They're actually pretty common, but I find emotional neglect and emotional battery complaints baffling. I can still do a pretty good job on these, but typically I get a colleague to look over my stuff first because it's hard for me to sympathize. If you're just asking about outright weirdness, we might have had a client who was getting gaslighted by her spouse. He would hide shit around the house and tell her she was going crazy. She caught him doing it on camera.
2. I mentioned one already: adulterous woman accused her husband of child abuse, left him for a pedophile. Another case involved the judge having an affair with one of the parties (did not come out until after the divorce settlement).
3. Sometimes, though usually they don't retain lawyers.

I think this is fair.
While I think it's not a terrible idea to "work through things," I do agree that once divorce is on the table, either party has checked out.
I also don't think people should feel pressure to marry unless they plan to have children.

1. I knew one of the lawyers very well.
2. No. It can be exhausting at times and even the amicable divorces are sad.
3. Send a resume.

What state do you practice in? How. Many partners in your practice? Are a solo practitioner? Are you happy?
I like family/divorce law....

1. Midwest
2. Three partners, four associates
3. No
4. Hard to say. In general, I think so. Lately it's been rough.

1. We generally get ours through referrals from other lawyers. For example, a lawyer who did estate planning for the couple cannot represent either party in a divorce. We may also get referrals from mediators. Other firms rely on higher volume, so they advertise in the yellow pages. You have a few who have the "battle axe" reputation; most of their business comes via word-of-mouth.
2. I don't know, since I've never practiced solo.
3. The law is pretty basic, but family courts run on equity.

A judge that I clerked for primarily did family law.
I could not do your job at all.
Family law has to be the most miserable field out there.
Even with Criminal Law you just show up for a few court appearances and the have the Def. plead to a good deal from the Prosecutor.
But Family Law?
FUCK that, you've gotta deal with dumbasses who are fighting over pots and pans.
I hope you get the retainer UP FRONT before you file anything.
