Divorce And The Most Common Misconceptions

 Posted on November 24, 2014 in Alimony

Divorce…it’s a word that is typically associated with pain and duress. However, this view has become a common misconception. With divorce becoming more and more common, many couples are deciding to take a more amicable approach. This is only one common misconception out of many.

Divorce is harmful to children. While it is true that no divorce or break-up is easy, divorce does not have to be harmful to anyone, especially the children. It is key, however, in order for this to remain true, both parents must maintain respect and communication, as well as support for each other and their children.

Divorce is the only answer. Many couples think that divorce is the only answer. While this may be true in certain situations, divorce may not be the right answer for all. If there is any chance of a reconciliation, it always best to consider a less permanent resolution, such as legal separation.

Divorce will create hate. While many divorces end under bad terms, this is not true for all, especially when a divorce is handled amicably and collaboratively. Divorce does not have to lead to hate and resentment, so it is always good to consider the alternative and work together to ensure a positive and peaceful resolution.

Divorce will turn people off. Often times, divorcees are afraid that they will not meet another person that will accept them because they are divorced. With divorce rates increasing, it is becoming more socially acceptable. In most cases, divorcees will find a new life partner at some point in their future.

If you are considering filing for divorce, or have been served with divorce papers, it is critical to pursue the help of a family divorce attorney. Contact Cosley Law Office today with any of your family or criminal related legal issues.
