‘Can be. ‘Often is, but is not necessarily a war of attrition in all situations.
Some divorce cases come to an end not because the court ruled on and resolved the issues on the merits of the arguments but because one of the parties exhausted his or her finances or willpower and just could not continue to keep up the fight any longer.
It’s unfortunate at best, tragic at worst when a litigating party who is on the side of the angels capitulates due to a lack of money or emotional resilience, but it happens, and regularly.
What’s even more tragic is that in many of these cases it didn’t have to be that way. There were options the surrendering party didn’t know about. Sometimes quitting is the right thing to do but know that it’s the right thing to do before you give up. Explore and exhaust all other options before you reach that point. That way you won’t be haunted by regrets or the question of “what might have been?”
