With harmony adrift, decisions are usually made in emotional turmoil. Can your marriage be salvaged? Is it worth it? How would your options effect you?

Divorce vs. Martyrdom

The social value of individual freedom pursuing a productive life in undeniable. Through the gradual evolution of individual freedoms, divorce no longer carries the stigma of the past.

This simple fact is expressed most clearly in the rising rates of dissolution, nationally, exceeding 56%. The conclusion is also clear: there are many benefits to a good marriage, there are many benefits being single, and a bad marriage is the south point of the relationship triangle.

Options

The official judicial policy of most courts favors pressure upon spouses to reconcile.

Even military personal stationed around the globe receive state sanctioned dissolution with little difficulty today. Many options for assistance are available: attorneys, self representation, pro bono programs and online document preparation to name but a few.
