Many divorces are caused from financial problems. A lawyer might say 80% are caused from a lack of money or disagreements about money, a psychologist might say 60%, but a Family/Marriage counselor would probably give you a number around 30%. Who would know best? In my opinion a couple probably isn't going to be perfectly open and honest about their divorce problems with their lawyer. A psychologist might have more insight, but a Family/Marriage counselor is the one who would be more interested in the absolute truth or the real problem. Sure 80% of divorcees had financial problems, but chances are there are underlying issues. Someone like a Family/Marriage counselor would have the skills to really find out the real source.
