Divorce - A Bed of Roses

www.caseboss.com

For those contemplating or going thru divorce, it’s a misnomer that once divorced your life will turn into a bed of roses with a beautiful fairly predictable future. Divorce is one event in life that is unpredictable and can change your lifestyle overnight. 

Divorce will terminate the marital relationship, although not necessarily eliminate the need for a civil relationship thereafter.  If children are involved issues such as child custody, alimony, visitation rights have many variables that can change dramatically depending on financial changes, illness, loss of jobs and a times devastating addictions. 

So in reality, divorce allows you to live separately not under the same room with your ex. It does not mean that marital assets will be divided equally, nor does it mean you’re relieved of financial liabilities that you and your spouse accumulated over a period of time.

Divorce isn’t a cure all solution for one wanting their freedom from marital responsibilities and emotional issues – there’s no guarantee that you’ll be able to continue or maintain the standard of living that was present during the marriage.

Here’s an interesting article on “ready for divorce.”  It discusses the good, the bad and ugly of divorce.    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/13/divorce-questions-are-you_n_1341987.html

There are many reasons why divorce may be a better solution; (1) Abuse in the family, (2) Extreme addictions and (3) Adulterous relationships that have destroyed the family unit. 

If none of those reasons exit, it might be a good thought to revisit the real reasons you’re adamant about getting divorce.  Just don’t assume that divorce is an answer to all of your woes – take time to learn more about the intricate family laws that will affect your life after divorce.

Possibly visiting legal counsel and getting a free ½ hour consultation would be a good alternative before making a definite decision that divorce is the best possible solution. 

Divorce isn’t a predicable and as said earlier it is power packed with variables, consequences and determinants that will impact your future. 

As Always,
