Public Service Announcement: Approximately 70% of divorces are initiated by women. What are the underlying reasons? The financial implications of equitable distribution and support statutes in each state often favor the husband, leading men to maintain the status quo. Conversely, women tend to feel emotionally constrained, bear the marital distress, and tolerate unacceptable behavior until they opt to end the marriage. Notably, the availability of no-fault divorce, enabling women to exit unhealthy marriages, is under threat. It is crucial to recognize policy initiatives aiming to restrict divorce without proof of abuse or adultery. This is a pressing concern; therefore, awareness is essential. Marriages are typically entered into with long-term commitment in mind, but sometimes dissolution becomes necessary. Staying informed is vital.

The system of divorce has historically been a legal process inherently setup for fighting. Although attorneys can play a key role in sharing with clients what their "legal rights" are to their case as it pertains to their children and their financial settlements, it is NOT the end all be all to getting divorced. Most of the time, an adversarial process of litigation positions one party against the other. But, what if we were to assume that the sum was greater than the parts? That the family unit and the relationship between the soon to be exes was grounded in the premise of reestablishing a relationship that most reflected the best for all parties involved, mostly the children. Working with a trained family mediator can do just that. If you are contemplating a divorce or in the midst of a divorce process, I urge you to take a step back and assess all of your options. Contact Mediating-Matters at 561-293-2565 for a free consultation to see why pro-se, pre-suit family mediation may be the best option for your family.

A testament to good communication.
