Alimony and property division were quickly settled, "but lawsuits over the children can go on interminably," Mr. Chen emphasized. The spirit of the relevant laws in the US is to ensure the children's welfare; nevertheless, it always renders the couple miserable after the divorce, for the lawsuit can grind on without resolution.
有關贍養費、財產分配一審定案，「但為了孩子，官司可以打不完」，陳先生強調，雖然這是美國法令傾向兒童福利的立法精神，但往往讓離婚之後的夫妻日子過不下去，因為官司永遠打不完。
