"Your Future, Your Choice"

Making the decision on whether or not divorce is the right thing for you is hard enough. But, who knew that there would be so many options on what kind of divorce to pick? Divorce is not a pleasant or easy decision to ponder over. It's a matter of whether you want to move on with your life or live your life unhappy for the sake of your children.

A no-fault divorce is exaclty how it sounds. "No one is at fault for the failure of the marriage. An uncontested divorce takes place when both spouses reach a mutual agreement to end the marriage. They are able to come to an agreement regarding division of property, any financial issues, children and other contenious issues. This type of divorce is quick and easy. However, it causes people to give up rights they didn't know they had. A simplified divorce is where there is no conflict between the spouses. Usually this type of divorce takes place in marriages of short duration. A limited divorce is similiar to a legal separation and is illegal in the states. Couples who need to arrange their finances and other issues settle for this divorce to give each other more time to settle their differences and come to an agreement."

It comes down to making the decision that will make both individuals as happy as possible. Hopefully putting aside their differences, they can come to an agreement easier then the decision they made to spend the rest of their lives together. This is not a decision to rush in to. It needs to be thought out and taken very seriously.Let's not make the wrong choice twice.

  1. wow thats crazy how there is something such as "no fault" in a divorce. But you are right, a divorce is such a diffcult decision and should be taken with real thought. I don't know what it is to be in that situation, but it must really suck! Great article though!!
