The experience of divorce is difficult for everyone involved. To best help with the legal experience, we need to understand gender differences that affect the process. This article adds to the understanding of that difference by addressing women's development and the female “voice.” Women have not been acculturated to the subtle rules of litigation, which are in the male “voice.” The authors offer an alternative scenario to add balance to the traditional experience of divorce for women and men and to the divorce process itself.
