Is it far too easy to get a divorce these days?

Answer 1

I don't think so! My divorce was amicable and it still took over a year to finalize! It wasn't only time consuming, it was difficult and expensive. I don't believe its too easy at all!!!

Answer 2

Psychologically speaking it is. There are too many couples getting married who shouldn't get married in the first place. Then when things aren't as great as they thought they would be, they take the easy way out and go for the divorce. It's fairly easy to file for a divorce if there are no children or high finances involved...but if there are..... buckle up and get ready for a long frustrating ride.

Answer 3

I think it is more of the mind set of "if it doesn't work out, we'll just get a divorce." It seems to be so commonplace. I remember when hardly anyone was divorced and when you really felt a morning for the whole family when it happened. Now it is so common that we just expect people to "Get over it". I wish there was more support before and during a marriage that people would see the value of working toward a common goal. Maybe then divorce rates would decrease.

Answer 4

I am at the very, very beginning of a separation and divorce. I called a lawyer today and he want $50 for the consultation and $1000 for the separation agreement. that doesnt include any court cost for the custody/child support. the agreement is becuz we do agree on what he gets in terms of the property but with the children it is a different story. but again it is a year from your separation to be divorced. Its way to costly and too long of a process, so far from what I see this really sucks, and we both agree on the divorce, just making sure that he pays the child support is the issue with us...

Answer 5

No, it isn't far too easy, a easy divorce help to save a person's life a lot of the time.

Answer 6

I think it is.Seems to be far easier to walk out the door than fight for your marriage and try to make it work.
Sure you have to go through a difficult process,but why not try to work things out and especially if their are children involved.I'm not talking about abusive relationships,because I'm all for divorce then.No one deserves to be abused no matter what the circumstances or have their lives in danger.
I'm just saying that people seem to think the grass is greener on the other side and really,it's not.
You once obviously loved that person enough to want to marry them.Marriage is a hard job and needs working at everyday.

Answer 7

I agree................. just like it is far to easy to get an abortion. People are not taking responsibility for their life's actions. i believe if someone wants to file for divorce they need to have a mandatory period of 2yrs.... and then after that two years, counseling and therapy.. if they still wish to divorce then fine. But these young people out here abuse the sacredness of marriage and the meaning and the love it is suppose to stand for!

I bet if these implements were imposed.. the would be fewer young marriages an people would think more in depth about saying "I Do"

Answer 8

No, it is usually costly, emotionally draining and heaven forbid you have kids and custody issues. One of my divorces took 3 years, and $20k, the other almost a year and $16k. I've lost two homes, everything I owned, but I kept my kids! Bad lawyers, lying ex's, screwed up legal paperwork, and an over-packed court system are part of the reasons, but ultimately, it's much easier to get married, just take my advice and pick the right person...

Answer 9

Yes and no. Depends what is all involved. If its something you both agree on and no kids and crap to be fighting over then the answer is yes. Where I live all you have to do is go to the library and get copies of divorce papers, fill them out and file them. And they even have them for couples that have kids. But if you get a lawyer, then its a long drawn out process.

Answer 10

It is easy to file, but the divorce itself isn't easy at all. Some cases drag on for years and years, and the fallout from it all can leave deep scars.

Answer 11

No. It is best to get away from someone that you no longer want to live with. The only divorces that drag out for years are the ones that people have problems dividing assets and in the meantime, their children's lives are disrupted as well as their own.
