Robin Roshkind says she laments her own three-year divorce war, which cost more than $100,000 and left emotional scars.

“The animosity never quits,” says Roshkind, from her West Palm Beach law office. Her own courtroom combat inspired Roshkind, a former stay-at-home mom and free-lance journalist, to head for law school. She graduated from Shepard Broad Law Center at Nova Southeastern University in 1996.
