A Help on Divorce

Summary: If divorce is really the only option, then you should do it correctly. Read on for timely advices and help on divorce

Bad marriages seem so blatantly rampant nowadays. Is it due to misaligned virtues? The shedding of the family mores that had kept intact the family circles of the last century. Or is it the rising trend of sex awareness that gave a new definition to the world weary terms of love and marriage.

In any event, divorce is mostly a result of bad marriages. It’s a considerable result too. In the US alone, the divorce statistics reported for the year 2000 alone, 957,200 divorces are made against the 2,355,005 marriages made of the same year. Statistically speaking, that is half of the marriages ending in divorce.

For that reason I strongly urge you to rethink your ideas for divorce, not for contributing on the statistics, but to set a change on the world convoluted with easy marriages, easy divorce and casual relationships. There are ways to sidestep divorce and here are some of them.

Consider Separation

Some states in the US require separation for a number of years before a divorce is possible. That is to stop the recent rampant usage of divorce lately. Separation refers to the cessation of living together by couples but without getting a divorce. They are still lawfully married therefore still subject to the obligations of husband and wife. Legal separation is still the same on the essence but has the authority of the court thus making it legal.

Separation is a fine option to get besides divorce. It is best proactive option, too, for hopes that the marriage will be reconciled later. Separation is also beneficial on a lot of things, not just saving marriages. Certain situations like religious concerns over divorce, insurance concerns and coverage, and even the benefits of tax, social security and pension.

Help on Divorce

If by chance divorce is really the only option, then you should do it correctly. To date, there are two ways to file a divorce: Fault Divorce and a No-Fault Divorce. Traditional Fault grounds include but not limited to cruelty, adultery, desertion, and inability to engage in sexual intercourse.

But probably the most painless (and the often used option) is the no-fault option. Grounds for no-fault option include incompatibility, irreconcilable differences, or irremediable breakdown of the marriage. As mentioned above, this policy is only awardable when the criteria of separation are met.

Most counselors that help on divorce and separation often advise on friendship. True enough, amicable divorces do make agreements less stressful. It allows uncontested divorces which can get approved in a matter of weeks.
