While most people understand this and take the time to create these documents, they may nevertheless consider this to be a one-time task.

It's an unfortunate fact of life that many loving relationships may end in acrimony, and their case may wind up in front of the family law courts. In most situations, this is down to disagreement, and while matters may get quite heated, both parties are able to progress without turning to violence.
