Deciding to get divorced
|
But it is when thinking about divorce becomes a recurrent or ongoing preoccupation, that the viability of a relationship needs some serious consideration. It is when being in the relationship becomes a burden with little or no apparent benefits that it becomes very clear that there is little reason to keep it going. At times like this, people are challenged to consider options - whether to stay married or to divorce. The decision to stay in a marriage is a personal one. No one can make that decision, but you. What may be intolerable for one person may be reasonably okay for the next. In the end, each person will have his or her own reasons for staying or leaving a marriage based on their own needs and circumstances. There is a lot at stake in making the decision to stay married or divorce. Rarely, do people wake up one morning and impulsively decide they have had enough. Generally speaking, the decision to end a marriage is a very difficult and painful one to make. Even though divorce rates are at an all time high, society in general, still values being married. As such, the decision to divorce does not come easily. Aside from consideration such as children, money and assets, letting go of hopes and dreams can be extremely difficult. In assessing your future and whether or not to stay married, it is best to take your time and avail yourself of marriage and divorce resources to help you in this important process. Getting divorced is a difficult process to go through. Getting a divorce starts with a form called a 'petition for divorce'. Once you have filled in a petition, which you can get from a solicitor, some stationers, or the HM Courts Service website, take it to a divorce county court or to the Principal Registry of the Family Division in London. The court will only grant you a divorce if a judge agrees that your marriage is at an end. The legal term for this is ' irretrievably broken down'. You must satisfy the court that one or more of the following is true as proof that your marriage is over. If there was adultery by your husband or wife, for unreasonable behaviour by your husband or wife, desertion for a period of at least two years, for a two years' separation, if you both agree to the divorce and finally for five years' separation, if there is no agreement to the divorce. You do not have to use a solicitor; many couples get divorced without consulting a solicitor. But you may need legal advice if you are not sure whether you have grounds for a divorce, or if your husband or wife does not agree to a divorce, or if you have children. You may also need legal advice about financial issues, even if you agree on how to divide up your property and finances. About The Author: Wifes Gone offers divorce advice for men .
