When a married couple decides to part ways, the process may seem mysterious and daunting. Divorce is something that many experience but few understand until they do.
Learning more about how divorce works
An unhappy marriage may lead many people in Massachusetts to think about ending the relationship. At the same time, they may be confused about what the divorce process involves. Some people delay a divorce for lengthy periods of time because of misconceptions about the laws and circumstances that are involved. By doing some research and preparation, people can understand more about the period to come and how they can emerge successfully from the divorce.
A lack of commitment is a factor in many divorces
The simplicity of the legal process of marriage belies the complexities that can be involved in marital dissolution. A Massachusetts couple need only be 18 years old and receive a license before they may permissibly tie the knot. Contrast this with ending a relationship with divorce where the issues of property division and child custody could become contested and fought over, and it seems clear that marriage should be entered into only with forethought and an eye to the future. The reason why many marriages fail, therefore, seems somewhat surprising.
