Do you agree with this divorce attorney that marriage is a negligent activity?

"Marriage is like the lottery, and you aren't gonna win".

Keep in mind he is a divorce attorney with 20 years experience. Him saying this actual works against his occupation because the less people get married, the less divorces and the less need for him.

Yes

No

Based on logic, and his definition of what negligent means as it relates to to the law, then yes, it makes sense as a whole.

However, the divorce rate can be further broken down by other factors that would reduce the chance of separation below 50% which using his definition would indicate not negligent behavior.

But fuck everything I just said, yes I think as a whole, it's negligent

I do not consider a 40yr marriage that ends in divorce a success. It's either, till death do us part or it's a failure. So for pretty much all men, it is

Most likely, he is saying these things for marketing purposes, wanting to appeal to the butthurt guys who want to go to battle against their spouse, and he gets rich when that happens.
