World’s First “Divorce Fair”
In Vienna, Austria, nearly sixty-six (66%) percent of marriages end in divorce.
That statistic may call for some creative strategies to help people through the process.
Thus was born the world’s first “Divorce Fair”.
Vienna’s Divorce Fair was expected to provide a venue for people contemplating divorce to consult with attorneys, mediators and other experts on the divorce process and picking up the pieces after divorce.
The Divorce Fair forum will not require attendees to identify themselves in order to consult with professionals. (This raises certain ethical questions for attorneys under US standards of practice, but we don’t have divorce fairs in the US – at least not yet.)
The Divorce Fair also was anticipated to present information about parenting and experiencing divorce from a child’s perspective.
