Some People Think Now Is the Best Time to Divorce
“Are divorces going down in these hard times?” The question came from a woman at one of the holiday parties upon learning I was a divorce lawyer.
I allowed as how many couples are opting to ride out a bad marriage because they can’t sell the house, or they can’t afford the lawyer fees, or their income won’t cover two households.
“But others,” I said, “find that now is just the right time to get rid of an unwanted spouse.”
“What others?” she inquired of me.
“Why wealthy husbands, for one, with businesses, stock, options and pensions down about 50%, may find this a good time to buy out their spouse for cash at these lower prices, expecting an eventual recovery.”
“And trophy wives, in the face of layoffs and rumors of layoffs, may decide the right time to leave is while their husbands are still employed.”
“I never thought of that,” she nodded, and wandered off to get some more punch.

Take a close look at what’s happening in your family. Unrelated to the age of your child. By violence, hitting, kicking, and throwing objects, chronic threats of physical violence. Ask yourself several questions about your well-being: Is your partner physically and/or emotionally abusive? Is he or she controlling of your life? Determine where you both stand on the relationship itself. The time for a relationship to end is the time when one or both of the parties is no longer willing to do the work necessary to keep both people happy. Consider couple’s counseling as an option. Counseling can open up new avenues of understanding and help you break out of bad habits in communication.
