[My wife Teresa and I were married on June 19th, 1970. Many years ago, we enjoyed a two-week cruise through the Panama Canal, also visiting countries in South and Central America, and the Caribbean. On that cruise we formed a close friendship (not professionally) with Attorney Bradley Coates from Honolulu, Hawaii. After 25 years as a divorce lawyer, he has written a book called "Divorce with Decency", trying to help couples retain integrity in that very painful and difficult time. Some of his sources were bitter-sweet about the subject; here are the TOP TEN.]
