The Three A'sby Sarah Williams24 Jan 2012 10:26 PM Divorce is never something to take lightly. In fact, I once had a professor who said there are only three valid reasons to get divorced; she called them the three A's. It hit me so strongly that I have never forgotten it. Don't Be The Bad Guyby Carol Paxman24 Jan 2012 10:58 AM Do you use your child as a pawn in your divorce? I have tried so hard not to do that but I'm sure at times I have been guilty of it as well.
