As southwestern Brampton's #7 divorce lawyer one year running, I can tell you that the vast majority of marriages break up due to "irreconcilable differences". But what kind of differences are we talking here? Why are the details never specified?? And just how irreconcilable are they? I've waded through an enormous stack of juicy-ass duo-tangs on my desk to share with you some of the more alarming ones. Yes, I keep everything in duotangs. Even other duotangs!
