‘Believer’ Is a Winner

\nIn our Jan. 26 issue, veteran screenwriter Henry Bean told The Journal he wasn\’t sure his provocative directorial debut, \”The Believer,\” inspired by the true story of a Jewish Nazi, would be well-received at Sundance. He\’d heard that distributors were wary of the controversial subject matter. So he was shocked last week when his film won the festival\’s Grand Jury Prize, the top award in the dramatic competition — prompting serious discussions with potential distributors. Now that \”The Believer\” seems poised to have an audience, at least with the art-house crowd, Bean has a particular group of viewers in mind. \”There is no audience I\’d rather show this to than one of anti-Semites and neo-Nazis,\” he told The Journal. \”I\’d love to know what they think.\”

The statistics haven\’t changed much in the close to 30 years I\’ve been in practice. About 50 percent of all American marriages end in divorce. As a family law attorney, I work with people every day who are giving up on their dreams of marital bliss. And in many cases — for my client and for the well-being of children involved — ending the marriage is a good idea. Marriages that break up because of untreated physical abuse, gambling, drug and alcohol problems, and infidelity are often damaged beyond repair. In those cases it\’s usually best for everyone concerned if the marriage is dissolved, allowing the innocent spouse to move on with his or her life.
