Divorce Attorney

Unfortunately, not all marriages are meant to last, and sometimes getting a divorce may be the best way to handle a situation even when children are involved. Although divorce should never be something to take lightly, there are some signs that might indicate that it’s time to consider a divorce. 

You No Longer Communicate

Communication is a crucial component for marriage. If you find that you and your spouse no longer communicate or when you do it often ends up becoming an argument, then it may be time for a divorce. 

Your Marriage Lacks Intimacy

Although physical intimacy isn’t everything in a marriage it is a crucial element. It’s natural for couples to be less physically intimate goes on especially when dealing with parenting. However, completely losing physical intimacy is often a red flag and can spell marriage problems. 

A Spouse is Causing Financial Problems

Money problems are one of the top reasons for divorce. When a couple can’t agree on how to spend or save their money or when one spouse is dealing significant financial damage–such as supporting a gambling or drug addiction–then it may be crucial for your financial health to divorce. 

Any Type of Domestic Abuse

When it comes to domestic abuse we tend to think of physical abuse, but there are other forms of domestic abuse as well. These other forms include emotional and psychological abuse and sometimes they can go hand-and-hand with physical abuse. No one should ever have to be a victim of any type of domestic abuse.

Disagreements When it Comes to Raising Children

Raising your children may be the most important element of your marriage and disagreements regarding your children can severely impact your marriage. Although sometimes these can be minor disagreements such as what school a child should attend, other times they can be far more serious such as how to parent a child with a physical or mental disability. While divorce can be extremely stressful when children are involved, in some cases it’s actually for the betterment of the child if their parents get divorced. 

If Any Cheating is Involved

If your spouse has cheated or is currently cheating then this is often a strong indicator that it’s time for a divorce. Sometimes a spouse may be pursuing another partner/in love with someone else and in other cases, they may just be having a fling with no strings attached. Either case is a cause for concern. While some couples are able to work through an issue like a spouse cheating, for many couples it’s a clear sign that it’s time for a divorce. 

You Both Have Talked About It Before

Sometimes couples may even talk about divorce. While often in the heat of the moment, sometimes couples may even discuss this option calmly. Whether for their children, because they both feel that they’re drifting apart, or for another reason, if you have talked about divorce with your partner before and it sounds like they agree then getting a divorce may be an option to consider.
