DIVORCES HAPPEN FOR MANY DIFFERENT, PAINFUL REASONS.

When most people in St. Tammany Parish get married, they hope that it’s forever. When things work out, it’s wonderful. When things go south and there’s a divorce on the horizon, the goal is to get as much help while going through the split as possible. People go into marriages with the best of intentions, but there are many reasons that even the marriages that seem the least likely to fail actually fail.

One of the most emotionally devastating reasons for a divorce is when one spouse cheats on the other. The loss of trust can be impossible to overcome for many people, and their only way out is through a divorce. Infidelity can also become an expensive mistake if there was a clause that financially penalized the guilty party in a prenup. Older people are getting divorced now as well since people are living longer and starting brand new lives and careers later in life.

Financial issues are one of the biggest reasons that people get divorced. If one spouse spends too much money and puts the couple’s financial future at risk, that could be a non-negotiable for some spouses. There may be a situation where the couple isn’t able to earn enough money to comfortably survive, causing major stress in the household. Few marriages can survive serious financial issues.

Intimacy is a very important part of a marriage. It’s the emotional and physical link that ties a couple together. When there’s little or no intimacy, spouses can quickly grow apart from each other. Once the distance is there, it could take serious therapy and determination on the part of both sides of the couple to bring it back together. That can be extremely hard to do when the spark that brought them together seems to be gone for good.

No one wants to get a divorce, but sometimes it’s for the best for the emotional, physical, financial, and mental well-being of both partners. People looking into getting a divorce may benefit from working with divorce attorneys who have experience navigating matrimonial law. They may be able to help with a solution that satisfies everyone.
