Everyone is right, and everyone is wrong. Real solutions require real work. Having a professional divorce mediator who works for the community would help avoid these problems. The mediator would go through the financials and prepare a proposal showing how each side would survive financially and deal with custody. Lawyers have a vested interest in creating Machlokes because they are paid by the hour. If both sides come to the court/lawyers with a negotiated settlement and just want it adjusted/checked for fairness/accuracy, things would be very different.
