Quote: “… Gwyneth Paltrow was not being self-righteous. She was using the word ‘conscious’ in the sense of being aware of each other’s feelings and a commitment to going through the divorce process with dignity. It’s a beautiful sentiment that was worded without being conscious of how it would be perceived. … Gwyneth just wanted to send a message that this wasn’t going to be a messy divorce. And she was right…” said Los Angeles-based top family law attorney Christopher C. Melcher, who handles high-net-worth divorces in California.
