According to the Law Society Gazette:
'In the field of family law... After wikipedia, the second most popular website was divorceaid.co.uk.'

Relationship Scotland says, 'There’s something for everyone with a personal or professional interest at Divorce Aid'

Thought for the day
Lord make me an instrument of thy peace
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, let me sow pardon
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where ther is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy. (Amen)
~St Francis of Assisi
