But there comes a time in problem marriages when the most important consideration is not if there will be a divorce, but how best to achieve it. Divorce, says S. Cowley, healthy Dr. can be a and constructive step, a reflection of maturity and personal growth. The former family court services worker who is the current president of the Utah Association of Marriage and Family Counselors believes too many persons are con cerned with high rates oi marital reconciliation and may be less sensitive to whai constitutes a good divorce. She defines a good divorce as the dissolution of a marriage without animosity and, when children are involved, the continuance of a healthy parental relation- ship. In order of priorities, Cowley places reconciliation marriage for the sake of the children is often the worst solution for the children, she as a first goal.

She particularly objects to counseling conducted by untrained persons. Divorce and marital counseling is an expertise, a specialization, Cowley says, and it simply cannot be done effectively by individuals.

Custody studies incontain background formation on the child, parents and home which is made available to the judge and attorneys. Most cases now go to trial, Cowley notes, when under the of previous system child custody matters were settled out of court. divorce Even having counseling at a mental health center creates a problem of stigma, she says.
