we're looking at symptoms and you're asking me how to fix some exact example, but without the legal system as it is the symptom would not be as widespread.
Most family lawyers recommend collaborative family law/mediation. The adversarial litigation system is a poor venue usually, because family law litigants often have to maintain relationships when the trial is over.

The legal system is not the cause of marital or other problems. It is the effect. The legal system is not telling people to break their promises and behave badly.
