There is always a great deal of concern for parents when it comes to divorce and their children. Many parents worry that their children will be "harmed" by divorce. There are many things that they may consider harm, from doing poorly in school to having a divorce of their own in the far distant future.
It's the conflict, not the divorce
Too much texting leads to divorce
A report from Saudi Arabia describes the latest problem caused by technology. In this instance, it was texting. A bride and groom returned to their hotel room on their wedding night. The wife was responding to texts congratulating the new couple. The newly-minted husband asked her to stop and after becoming frustrated asked if the friends she was texting were more important than he was. She, annoyed by his question, said they were. Yelling and escalated arguments followed.
How to tell your children you are divorcing
Divorce is full of emotional events. From the first time the thought crossed your mind that you want to end your marriage, to the day you contacted a divorce attorney, until the day you receive the final order in your case from the Missouri family court, you will have to deal with various types of emotional tumult.
Does no-fault divorce need to be changed?
No-fault divorce is the standard method of obtaining a divorce. In Missouri, you can proceed with either a fault or a no-fault divorce. No-fault is often criticized for a range of societal problems from lowering the economic status of women to the fall of Western Civilization. Part of the problem may be that people tend to have short memories and see incidents with no-fault occurring today as somehow being uniquely troubled.
The "sudden" decision to divorce
Divorce can be a funny thing. One day, you may suddenly come to the realization that you want out of your marriage and you want a divorce. While the realization may arrive with surprising suddenness, the underlying motivational factors have probably been present for a long time.
The experience of others in divorce
Overconfidence bias can be a problem in many areas of life. Drivers often drive too fast or while intoxicated due to overconfidence bias, believing themselves to be highly-skilled drivers based purely on their, to that point in time, not having been involved in an accident.
Cal Ripken Jr. announces divorce after 29 years
It may seem from the outside that a couple who has been married 20, 30 or 40 years has marriage figured out. But no St. Louis marriage is divorce-proof. Sometimes, after decades together, new problems arise that the spouses cannot overcome without separating.
The unpleasant novelty
For a great number of people, divorce is a novel experience. They have never experienced anything like it. And that may not be a good thing. Divorce is many things, both an emotional rollercoaster and a technical legal procedure.
