Divorce Lawyer Outlines Five Professionals Women Should Reconsider Marrying

According to Insider, her name is Katherine Leonard and she's the founder and managing partner of The Leonard Firm in Atlanta, Georgia.

And drawing from her experiences over the course of 13 years of practicing law, she recently identified five kinds of professionals that women should be careful about marrying.

Although she's quick to point out that not all men within these professions are like this, it's been common for them to cause some of her most difficult cases.

Although Leonard didn't put them in any particular order, she found that surgeons, police officers, those working within the military, pilots and firefighters have consistently made for her messiest cases.

And as for why these professions stand out, her theory is "The men in these professions, they're gods in their profession."

And while you can likely imagine how those traits would make a marriage difficult, they're just as bad while divorce proceedings are underway.

As Leonard put it, "They have kind of a 'nuke the earth, you know, scorch the earth, how dare you challenge me' kind of approach to litigation."

Interestingly, she hasn't found that women in the professions listed above have caused similar problems in the divorce cases she's overseen. However, she noted that this could be due to a relative lack of data compared to the men in these careers she's dealt with.

She also found that teachers and nurses tended to make for fairly average divorce cases, but the same couldn't be said for stay-at-home moms.

So while she was hesitant to do so, she named them as the worst among women to deal with in a divorce.

As she said, "They tend to stick their head in the sand and stall."
