The Main Reasons Heavenly Divorces Turn Hellish

No one in their right mind gets married just to divorce, but the divorce rate remains high nonetheless. Based on 2012 statistics, Macomb County Michigan alone was home to 4,716 marriages and 2,684 divorces. Across the nation, the divorce rate of 6.4 per 1,000 residents is significantly lower than the 7.6 per 1,000 in the year 2000. A drop in the divorce rate is encouraging, but the reasons for divorce are no less unsettling. In fact, even the most agreeable divorce cases can suddenly turn hostile from the smallest spark. These are the hot topics that drive amicable divorces over to the dark side:

Custody Issues

When children are involved in a divorce, the stakes are high, emotions are exposed, and parenthood suddenly becomes a battle of "who can hurt whom more." Sadly, divorcing adults aren’t hurting each other nearly as much as they're hurting their kids. Working with your Michigan divorce lawyer can help you establish a custody plan that’s fair to everyone involved.

Sexual Issues

Sometimes, the issue of infidelity isn't brought to light until divorce proceedings are underway. This realization can instantly turn an amicable divorce sour. Emotions are already like live wires, just waiting to make contact with damp skin. So finding out that your trust and loyalty was violated can cause a spark to explode. And infidelity isn't the only sexual issue. Nastiness can result from the disclosure of your partner’s sexual preferences or blame regarding sexual neglect. Regardless of the personal nature of the issue, be open and honest in your behind-the-scenes dealings with your attorney, before the painful and often embarrassing truth comes rushing out in court.

Financial Indecision

Separating your assets seems easy enough at first. He takes the flat screen TV and the PS3, while you get to keep the antique bedroom furniture and the iPad. But things tend to change when money is involved. The fair splitting of assets, credit card debts, loans, bank accounts, IRAs, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, property, and spousal support can turn into nightmares which disrupt and prolong divorce proceedings. Your divorce attorneys can either help you reach mutual decisions or recommend competent financial advisors to help get you back on track.

Emotionally Charged Drama

We’d like to omit this from the list and pretend it doesn’t happen often. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. Divorce is rarely a surprise. Life situations generally build until one or both partners have had enough. Perhaps one partner is ready to snap (or already has) and the other just goes along for the ride in order to get out of a bad situation. But if one partner then seems more at ease than the other, then anger, resentment, and jealousy can quickly replace relief. Suddenly, the somewhat amicable divorce plan becomes anything but. Mud starts slinging, and the divorce time extends over unnecessary drama. Personal therapy can go a long way to help release the pent-up anger and frustration related to the deterioration of marriage.

Yes, divorce can be a tricky, time-consuming, and tension-filled time in your life. But it’s generally less stressful than years wasted in a troubled or abusive marriage. If you’re at the end of your rope, your Michigan divorce attorney can help expedite your divorce to get you back into a healthy lifestyle. Stop making excuses when it comes to your future happiness.
