I believe you all are missing one thing - divorce is NOT a sin. What is sinful is the subsequent engaging in sexual activity with someone other than your spouse after the divorce which is sinful. As Christians we do not acknowledge a legal divorce proceeding as a true dissolution of a marriage. That can only occur through death or annulment.

So while I agree with you that it is disconcerting to help facilitate a legal divorce, IMHO, the attorney is not facilitating a sinful act.

I agree but I also know that I walk with Jesus and this is my calling. I’ve made a move or two to get out of the business but I go into the office knowing that someone is going to call and need my skills as a problem solver. I do a lot of pro bono work.

Here's the relevant scripture:

"Now to the married I command, yet not I but the Lord: A wife is not to depart from her husband. But even if she does depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband. And a husband is not to divorce his wife." 1 Cor 7:10-11

Divorce is sin, as it is contrary to the command of God. Separation is allowed, but not divorce.
