Immeasurable amount of times I nearly lost my temper providing advice to them and reminding them that it is not about "punishing" the other side. Of course, uncontentious divorces are much more pleasant to handle and it's relatively easy money.

I have done PIMA/NIMA cases in my previous firm and that is an area of law I vowed not to be involved again.
