Why do you think that’s the case
I think the US just has a more litigious culture? Here in the UK custody would be done by mediation before anyone sued each other.
That is how it’s done, what Elon Musk does is not representative of the normal American. Kinda sad I have to clarify that.
Yes it could just be the perception. In American films and TV everyone seems to have a lawyer, there’s the whole “lawyer up” reddit meme and I’ve been given so much advice on reddit about things I should/shouldn’t do to avoid getting sued (like sweeping the pavement outside my house! This seems to come up so often). The only time I know of people using solicitors here regularly are to buy houses and to finalise divorce.
What you read on reddit and watch on tv/movies isn’t at all how reality actually is here lol. You do legal stuff when you have to, it’s expensive and a hassle, and it’s still best to settle things outside of court. Reddit says a lot of dumb things, the lawyer up thing is a meme since a redditor should really not be giving legal advice. That’s like when you discuss mental issues, people say to go to a therapist, it’s not any country specific. If anything, it’s the EU who has a lot more regulation, which means more courts involved.
As I said, it’s probably perception, though I don’t understand your last point.
Ok, less very public court cases. Don’t see much else other than Musk or Trump at the moment
Because marriages and relationships are stronger and taken more seriously in some cultures than others
That’s just objectively not true and very pretentious to say
The US has distinctively higher divorce rates than other countries. Objectively true.
