Is it ethical to make money by investing in someone else’s divorce? That’s the question raised by a fascinating story in today’s New York Times about a new company founded, unsurprisingly, in Beverly Hills, that finances people who don’t have enough ready cash to take their divorces to trial

In return, Balance Point gets a cut of the winnings. (More on Time.com: Will the Market Kill Your Marriage?)
