There are many couples today that cannot make their marriage work and they

jump to the conclusion that they must get a divorce. This is something that

both parties may agree to or just one person in the relationship may have this

idea on their mind. Either way, it is the ending of a marriage and something

that needs to be thought about very carefully before doing going through with

it.

A divorce will sometimes be called a decree of dissolution of a marriage. It

is a legal process that has to go through the divorce courts. You cannot have

just anyone terminate your marriage. It is final and it is a very serious matter

that two people need to think about when their marriage is not making them happy.

However there are things that a couple can do first before they decide to actually

get divorced.

A divorce is the termination process of a valid marriage between two people.

There are different reasons for divorce for different people. Many times a couple

will try many other actions before they go ahead and file for a divorce. They

may try counseling or talking to one another. They may also decide to take a

vacation away from everyone else and try to work it all out. Sometimes it is

just not possible to get through all the hard times and move past them with

a happy marriage. It is sometimes the only choice between two people.

With a divorce the parties or court will resolve all the issues that are between

them like the house, and other property that they jointly own, child custody

and visitation as well as support in the form of alimony and from whom. There

are many people that end their marriage peacefully and yet there are others

that make it drag on for many years because they cannot agree on anything for

the divorce. In fact current divorce

statistics show that 1 in every 2 marraiges end in divorce.

The process of the divorce is going to be hard on all the parties, but the

effects

of divorce on children needs to be carefully monitored. This is something

that can really upset them and it is important to make sure that they get the

care and the love that they need to understand that everything will be all right,

and that they are not to be concerned with anything that the adults go through.

This will help to comfort them and give them the secure feeling that all children

need in this time of separation.

Divorce does not mean that the two people that were once married can no longer

speak or have a normal friendship. In fact it is recommended that if there is

children involved the divorced parents need to work together to make a divorce

as easy as possible. This will keep everyone happy and make the divorce not

seem so cold as many do.
