I've seen messy divorces and really civilized divorces.

My brother got divorced. Both he and his ex are still friends, both got remarried, and the two married couples and all the kids and step kids have vacationed together multiple times. I've seen my brother's ex-wife's new husband at a couple of my family gatherings. Nice guy.

On the other end of the spectrum, a female friend married an idiot. They ended up divorcing, and he moved away. Had no intention of spending time with the kids. Bought a new car instead of paying child support. She had him thrown in jail for not paying. I don't like the guy, and think he's a tool, but I thought the US didn't have debtors prisons. Apparently it does, when it comes to child support.
