Divorce Help 101
Divorce in General
Divorce can often bring a number of terrible issues to mind – lives torn apart, bank accounts drained, and emotions cast aside. While there is little pleasant about divorce, the unfortunate reality is that divorce is a fact of life. The United States consistently has the highest divorce rate in the world.
There is no one cause for divorce as any number of factors can contribute to the downfall of a marriage. Sometimes a divorce can be attributed to a specific act of fault such as adultery, physical cruelty or some other significant event; however, sometimes spouses simply come to the realization that their marriage is simply over.
The reality of the entire divorce process is that few people ever give advance thought to a divorce. Rarely do people decide to consult or visit a divorce attorney when no marital problems exist. However, by doing a little homework and by understanding the issues that typically present themselves in a divorce, people can save not only time and money but they can minimize the personal and family trauma that often accompanies a divorce.
Through the articles on this site you will find detailed information on many of the issues one could expect to experience in a divorce. If you and your spouse have children, you may want to spend some time on the articles related to child custody, child support and visitation.
If you are worried about spousal support, paying it or whether you will be able to receive it, check out the section on alimony.
Married parties with assets or debts will likely want to read the section on property.
While the information on this site is intended to help educate and to provide a foundation to better understand the issues that accompany a divorce, it is not intended to be a replacement for the counsel of a licensed attorney – an attorney who practices domestic law in the state where your divorce will occur.
The divorce process may force people to make difficult decisions regarding assets or debts. It may involve a party paying alimony or not having continued health insurance coverage. It may involve decisions involving children and who will be the primary care provider. And yes, it may involve dividing up the pots and pans!
It is not unusual for a people to experience a sense of hopelessness while going through a divorce, but this is usually from not understanding the issues that are being addressed and how the issues may be resolved. By educating yourself and not only knowing generally what to expect, but what questions to ask, you will be better prepared to not only understand the process, but to contribute to the most beneficial resolution to your divorce.
