Divorce

Divorce, also known as dissolution of marriage, is the termination of a marriage or

marital union, the canceling or reorganizing of the legal duties and responsibilities of marriage,
thus dissolving the bonds of matrimony between a married couple under the rule of law of the
particular country or state. Divorce laws vary considerably around the world, but in most
countries divorce requires the sanction of a court or other authority in a legal process, which
may involve issues of alimony (spousal support), child custody, child visitation /
access, parenting time, child support, distribution of property, and division of debt. In most
countries, monogamy is required by law, so divorce allows each former partner to marry
another person; where polygamy is legal but polyandry is not, divorce allows the woman to
marry another person.

The Different Types of Divorce

ADMIN AUGUST 6, 2014 DIVORCE BASICS
The conventional portrayal of divorce on the silver screen and TV is usually marked by
contention over serious matters like child custody and deciding who gets what when all is said
and done – not to mention emotions running high, sometimes with dramatic events unfolding
because of those emotions – but in reality, that form of divorce, legally known as a contested
divorce, isn’t necessarily the norm. There are actually several different types of divorce, some
very different from the stereotypical contested type. After all, divorce isn’t a one-size-fits-all
affair, and the type of divorce a couple chooses depends on the particulars of their situation:

 Are they willing to work together to come to an agreement on issues that may be hotly
contested otherwise?
 Do they have valuable assets to divide up or are children involved?
 Why is the marriage coming to an end in the first place?

The answers to these questions can help guide divorcing spouses to the type of proceedings that
best fits their unique situation. Today, many alternatives seek to keep the case out of the
courtroom and resolve conflict in a cooperative way if possible.

The following are the most common types of divorce:

Fault and no-fault divorce

Not too many decades ago, the burden fell on the spouse seeking the divorce to prove
wrongdoing on the part of the other in order to justify the divorce. Common reasons included
adultery, extreme cruelty, abandonment and abuse. While all states have done away with making
the practice of proving fault mandatory in favor of a no-fault approach that acknowledges that
both parties contributed to the breakdown of the marriage, three states still require that fault be
proven if the couple entered into a “covenant” marriage – Arizona, Arkansas and Louisiana –
and some states provide the “fault” option in addition to the no-fault one. However, no-fault
divorces are now standard practice, particularly for couples who don’t anticipate a lot of fallout
over matters like asset division.

Uncontested divorce
The opposite of the stereotypical contested divorce, an uncontested divorce relies on both
spouses working together to hammer out the terms. Essentially, the process involves both filing
separate paperwork with the court before going their separate ways peacefully. Because
everything is squared away at the outset, there is no need for hearings, settlement negotiations or
other court procedures.
Arbitration
When a divorcing couple wants to resolve contentious issues outside the court but can’t come to
an agreement on their own, they may resort to arbitration, in which a private judge known as an
arbitrator weighs both sides’ accounts of the facts of the case as a neutral third party and then
makes a ruling just as a judge would in court.

Mediation
Another common choice for couples who can’t agree on the finer points of the divorce but want
to stay out of the court, mediation is similar to arbitration in that it also involves a neutral third
party who listens to both spouses’ sides of the story. However, unlike in arbitration, the mediator
does not make any decisions for the couple but facilitates communication between them instead
so that they can arrive at an agreement that can then be used by the judge to craft the final
divorce judgment.

Collaborative divorce
Also known as collaborative law or collaborative practice, a collaborative divorce is another
means of resolving contention between a divorcing couple without bringing the court into the
picture. This form of divorce is similar to arbitration and mediation, but instead of using a neutral
third party to spur communication or make a judgment for the couple, it involves both spouses
retaining their own legal counsel, an attorney with a special focus on collaborative law. Before
beginning the process, both spouses sign an agreement stating that they will work together to
come to an agreement. If they fail, both attorneys will withdraw from the case, and both spouses
will have to start from square one, so this agreement can be an effective incentive to work
together.

Default divorce
Essentially a divorce in absentia, this type of divorce occurs when one spouse files and the other
doesn’t respond – usually because he or she cannot be found. The divorce is granted “by default”
and without the need for the non-responsive spouse to appear before the court at all.

Summary divorce
A summary – or “simple” – divorce is intended to streamline the process for couples who are
most likely to be in a position to cooperate; that is, they lack substantial assets, have no children
and weren’t married for very long. Many states impose a monetary threshold for the amount of
assets and debts that the couple can have and require that no children or significant real property
be present although exceptions can be made in some jurisdictions with the proper documentation.
In a summary divorce, both spouses usually only need to fill out and file a few forms to complete
the process.

Contested divorce
The conventional “heated” divorce, this well-known type involves both spouses retaining
separate attorneys and taking contentious issues before the court for the judge to decide. The
formal process typically involves hearings, settlement negotiations and even a trial in some
cases. This form of divorce may be necessary when both spouses have a high net worth,
considerable assets and liabilities, and a lot at stake in the proceedings.

Same-sex divorce

In the increasing number of states that allow same-sex marriage as well as in several other states,
same-sex couples now have legal recourse to end their marriages, domestic partnerships or civil
unions formally, using the same forms and proceedings as heterosexual married couples.
 The Best Things That Happen When You Get A Divorce/ Benefits of divorce

No matter what pain points existed in your marriage, divorce can be the point of relief —
or at least kickstart the process of healing.

But the real happiness after divorce is not usually about what you leave but what you
find: strength you did not know you had. Skills you had no idea you could develop.
Passions that were hidden, forgotten, or yet to be discovered.

Without a spouse, you’re often forced to take on new and different responsibilities, to try
new things — whether that’s signing up for a cooking class you’ve always wanted to take
or learning how to fix your washing machine. As Corinne, a 37-year-old divorcée from
Seattle, says, “Self-reliance has forced a spiritual growth that was not possible for me
without divorce.”

The Necessity of Divorce

Divorce Means Letting Go of Pricing Power

The first point is that “divorce” here has a specific meaning: fixing the governance and allowing
the MLS to operate as a strictly for-profit business for its shareholders.

MLS governance today is premised on the idea that the MLS is a “member benefit” of the local
Association. Therefore, the primary goal of the MLS is to provide tools, technology, and rules to
enable cooperation and compensation at the lowest possible cost. This core belief about the MLS
has all sorts of negative consequences for the industry.

The Association and its heavy involvement in the governance and operation of the MLS keep
prices artificially low. That in turn leads to razor-thin margins for the MLS, which in turn means
the MLS is unable to invest in products and services that its customers — the brokers and agents
who pay the actual bill — want and need in the 21st century. When the MLS is kept artificially
poor, it has no choice but to squeeze its vendors, who, as a result, don’t have the margins to
invest into technology, user interface, product, and services.

In addition, because the MLS can’t raise prices without it becoming a major political fight with
the Board that is appointed by/elected by the Association, the MLS is often obsessed with “non-
dues” revenue. That leads to the MLS doing all sorts of things that encroach on what its brokers
want to offer as a competitive differentiator. That whole “level the playing field” business stems
from the MLS’s lack of pricing power.
The solution then is for the Association, the brokers, and the agents to let go of the governance of
the MLS as a business operation. They need to remain involved in the policies, rules, and even
some product decisions as the actual people on the ground trying to use the MLS to do business
every day, but they need to remove themselves from the financial, operational, technological,
and marketing decisions of the MLS.

I bring this up because in past talks, people say things like, “Well, our MLS is a separate
corporation, so it’s already divorced.” That’s a necessary first step, but it really isn’t enough.
True divorce means changing the governance — and the ownership structure — of the MLS. We
can determine the true liberation of the MLS by a single question: Can the MLS charge the price
that the market will bear, without interference from its owners?

Today, it cannot. To survive, the MLS of the future must have that power, which means divorce
from the political world of the Association of REALTORS.

Divorce Is Good for the Association

One of the things that Greg and I debated is “What is the big get for the Association without the
MLS?” My answer was that advocacy is the “big get” for the Association, and that the
Association can never be relevant as long as it is reliant on the MLS for its membership. Greg
thought this was circular logic and got lost, and I don’t know that I did a great job of explaining
myself.

To me, it’s pretty simple and straightforward.

The single biggest problem in the industry today is that there are too many crappy agents. This
isn’t me saying this, but NAR through the DANGER Report which recognizes the problem.

At the same time, the single biggest pain-in-the-ass for the working REALTOR is… the agent on
the other side of the transaction. Widespread incompetence, unethical behavior, and even
outright corruption mean that the honest professional REALTOR has to deal with crazy shit on
the other side all the time.

The crazy thing for the true REALTOR is this: every single one of those incompetent,
unethical, marginal agents on the other side is a card-carrying, dues-paying, Code of
Ethics-having, REALTOR.

And why are these incompetents actual REALTORS? Because they need the MLS, and
becoming a REALTOR is the way to get access to the MLS.

The Association cannot be relevant to its real members — those who give a crap about the Code
of Ethics and political advocacy — while giving away the REALTOR brand to every Tom, Dick,
and Mary who can fog a mirror. As I said on the podcast, “At some point, the true REALTORS
are going to get sick and tired of being lumped in with a bunch of unethical, corrupt and
incompetent morons.”

The only way that the Association can do anything about that problem is to reduce the number of
members. If you think about it, this is the only way the Association remains relevant to its real
members — as opposed to the members-in-name-only who are actually just buying the MLS
through the Association.

The point of divorcing the MLS proactively, before you are forced to do so by outside powers, is
to arrange for a financial arrangement in which the Association can continue to get funding while
reducing the number of members down to those who actually want to join, who care about the
REALTOR brand and who take the Code of Ethics seriously.

Look, divorce is never pleasant. Unlike Louis CK, I don’t recommend it. Then again, as Louis
CK once said, no great marriage ever ends in a divorce. But here’s the thing: the marriage
between the Association and the MLS is NOT a great marriage… at all. It’s a dysfunctional, co-
dependent relationship that hurts both parties.

Divorce does have its upsides, namely freedom. In this case, a divorce grants the Association the
freedom to be selective, which paves the way to tackle the crappy agent problem, which
ultimately improves the industry at large.

It’s time to move on.

The Advantages of Divorce

Divorce is devastating. It’s heartbreaking, it’s gut-wrenchingly sad, and it

can be really, really depressing. That said, there IS a flip side, believe it or not.
Amongst all the anger you and your ex have toward each other at times, the painful
feelings of loneliness that creep up, the angst of facing life as a single parent, the
worrying about finances, and that horrible feeling you get occasionally that you
failed miserably at something you promised God you’d cherish forever, there are
pluses to being divorced. Here they are. Please keep in mind that some or all or
none of these might apply to you.
1. You have an out whenever you want it. I believe that at this stage in my life,
I shouldn’t have to do anything I don’t want to do. Let me clarify. We all have
things everyday that we HAVE to do. Meetings we must attend, people we go to
see out of the goodness of our hearts, chores, errands, work outs, and business
events. Doing those things is just living up to your responsibilities. But, I believe
that a person shouldn’t do anything he or she does not WANT to do. In other
words, don’t do anything out of obligation or because you think you will upset
someone if you’re not there (unless you care deeply for the person). If there is an
event that you really don’t care to attend, don’t. If a person who typically makes
you feel bad about yourself wants to get together, don’t. Enjoying life and your
time is just too valuable. So, here’s the divorce benefit: In order to spare
someone’s feelings, if you simply don’t want to get together with someone, you
can just say, “Sorry, it’s my weekend with the kids!” How great is that?
2. Back to work: This applies mostly to women. When you get divorced, women
are often forced to go back to work because of finances. I can tell you firsthand it
was very scary. I hadn’t worked in 10 years. Getting up to speed on computer
technology was probably the most frightening thing for me. But, going back to
work has HUGE benefits!! Work is productive, and that brings self-esteem, self
love and confidence! You will love yourself when you feel smart and productive
and you see that “You still got it!” AND, you will meet so many men and women
that could become friends, and maybe even romantic interests. Nothing bad ever
comes from work. It’s always good.

3. Loneliness subsides: When I was getting divorced, people would always give
me this look that was saying to me, “I feel so sorry for you.” I felt like saying,
“Please don’t give me that look! I didn’t just tell you I had cancer!” In fact, if they
knew how a divorced person felt, they would give me a happy look. Because, when
you have been divorced for awhile, you will probably look back and say, “Wow. I
was really lonely in my marriage.” I truly believe it is better to be lonely while
you’re alone, than lonely if you are in a relationship. Loneliness is a terrible
feeling, but you won’t be lonely forever. I promise!!

4. Make your house your own. Do you realize that you can re-decorate and re-
organize your home, and make it exactly the way you want it? Pink and shabby
chic and feminine. Do whatever you’d like! You’re the boss!

5. Live Baby Live! I have a friend who was married for 27 years. Her husband
blindsided her and left her for another woman. She was obviously devastated. In
fact, there were times I was beyond worried about her and wasn’t sure she’d be
okay. Let me tell you what she has done over the past 4 years. She has run a
marathon, she’s traveled to Israel, Spain, China, and all over the US., she has
joined a softball league, and she never says no to any adventure. She said she
would never have done all these things if she was still married.

6. The door is open. Regardless of who left who, the door is now wide open for
you to have a meaningful, loving relationship with someone who is right for you. If
your husband or wife left you, they did you a favor. Because, who wants to be with
someone who doesn’t want to be with them? Mr. or Ms. Right is out there. Give it
time and don’t try too hard. Just enjoy your life. Refer to point #5!

7. Say bu-bye to your mother in law. For some people, never seeing their in-
laws after divorce is very upsetting. To others, never having to deal with their in-
laws again is a huge perk. So, obviously this only applies to people who look at
never having to see their mother-in-law again as a gift. Everything that bugged you
about her is ancient history! Woo hoo!

8. You just became a single parent. “Why is that a plus, Jackie?!” Because a lot
of people I talk to tell me that they became a better parent after their divorce. As
single parents, we appreciate our time with our children more. Quality always wins
over quantity. In other words, sure, you may see your children a less number of
days throughout the year, but if you take advantage of every moment you have
with them, you will be truly fulfilled, and you will continue to be a wonderful
parent, even better. Talk to your kids, laugh with them, hug and kiss them, play
with them. Just love them. They need you now more than ever. And you are here
for them.

The biggest, most obvious advantage of divorce is that you are getting out of a
situation that doesn’t work, and that doesn’t make one or either of you happy.
What I would say is that during your darkest times, the times when the tears dont
seem to stop, when stress seems to overwhelm you, and when sadness envelops
your soul, please try to look at what is happening as a stepping stone to happiness,
perhaps a better life, a gift, if you will, and a new chapter that could bring lots of
really really good things.

Summary
1. Unfulfillment of the role of marital unions

To begin with, it is clear that the union that is marriage has certain roles it has to fulfill.
Marriage is, in its core, a union formed between two people, formed out of love, and with the
goal to live, prosper etc. together.
Marriage changes one's life drastically and is based on stability, understanding and compromise
- those are the prerequisites for a marital union to be functional and to last.

The role of marital unions is to bind two people and help them achieve all their goals, prosper,
and lead a stable and generally happy life.
As stated before, synergy is key to the stability of a marital union - should that synergy
disappear, the marital union cannot fulfill any of its roles; and it loses its reason of existence.

A few basics make lasting love possible in marriage. These include caring, long-term
commitment, integrity, togetherness and maintaining a positive focus. [1]

That being said, it is clear there are functional, as well as dysfunctional marriages. Divorce
serves as a solution to a situation where the marital union is dysfunctional, and, in the eyes of
the couple, beyond repair. When the couple reaches a point where they simply cannot function
together, there is no point in preserving the marriage - its dysfunctionality will prevent it from
being of any use to anybody.

It is only natural that such a bond as marriage, which has a large impact on one's life, can be
dissolved. No one can predict what will happen concerning the relations between the two
people in the marital union, and for that reason, the right to divorce must be maintained.

Marriage isn't really about the two united against the world, but rather the two individuals in a
world full of mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual challenges and surprises. [...] When two
people are simply unable to sustain their love for each other and are unwilling to spend the
remainder of their life in what is left of their relationship, then divorce becomes a way to set
each other free. [

To grasp the necessity of divorce, one must understand that divorces aren't monsters waiting
behind the corner to destroy a couple's happiness and harmony. A divorce is the consequence
of a pre-existing problem which eliminated the functionality of the marriage and set it beyond
repair. At that point, the couple divorces, for they both realize their marriage is left hanging in a
void; it is useless and causes them suffering.
If it so, then what is the point of blindly insisting on preserving the marriage. What's the point
and what good does it bring? The answer is self-evident - none. That is, indeed, the reason that
divorce is legal and allowed in the status quo.

2. Quality of life

It is clear that every single human being strives for the highest possible quality of life. A
person's quality of life is incredibly important for the well-being of said person, and should be
ameliorated and augmented by all means. That much is logical and understandable.

A dysfunctional marriage hinders one's quality of life severely. As was already stated, marriage
is a grand decision that has a great impact on the life of the two individuals of which it consists.
If that impact is negative, why shouldn't the couple be allowed to divorce?

Who has the right to force two people to be unhappy? Who has the right to force them to
uphold a lifestyle they do not wish to uphold, to hinder their quality of life, to prolong their
emotional distress? And to what end?
Indeed, what end would not allowing divorce be a means to? What, exactly, is achieved and
preserved by not allowing divorce?

Allowing couples to divorce gives the two individuals a chance to restore happiness to their
lives should it be lost in the marriage. It ultimately preserves their right to living happily and
freely. Forcing them to stay in a union they would do anything to get out of is nothing more
than a form of slavery.

If one were to look at the big picture, it is the right to divorce that indirectly helps preserve
quality of life. Both members of a certain marital union are aware that they have a way out, a
way to restore things to how they were in case they made a mistake. That right is an important
part of modern family life - for a reason, too.

I have proven throughout this exposition that the right to divorce ameliorates quality of life,
forms one of the pillars of modern family life and aids in ensuring that a dysfunctional union
can be promply dissolved.
On the other hand, huge questions rest over the case that supports not allowing divorce.
Questions to which one cannot offer a logical, humane answer.
21 Undeniable Benefits Of Being Divorced

Now, we're not trying to minimize that undeniable fact, but we do want you to know that there are benefits to
enduring a marital dissolution as well. Like, remember when your mother told you that anything that doesn't kill
you makes you stronger? Well, she was right ... but that isn't the only upside to the end of your marriage. In fact,
our experts came up with quite a list of advantages to your divorcee status, and here they are:

1. You will become a stronger person. As the saying goes, if you can get through this, you can get through
anything. —Carol Ferguson

2. You will become closer to your friends and appreciate them more. They can be a shoulder to lean on, a
sounding board for advice and a date when you want to go out. —Carol Ferguson

3. You now control your life. You make the decisions you want to without having to consult with someone else. —
Carol Ferguson

4. You are independent. You do what you want, when you want and how you want. This will increase your self-
esteem. —Carol Ferguson

5. You can grow as a person. Divorce can be the beginning of a fulfilling, better life. The only restrictions on your
life will be those you impose. —Carol Ferguson

6. You know better who you want to marry the next time around. You probably got marriedyoung, when you
were still figuring out who you were. Now you can take the time to reflect on what happened in the relationship
and what part you played in the breakup. Then you can decide what kind of person you want to be in a
relationship and what you want in your partner. You most definitely know what you don't want in a partner.

7. You have learned to live alone ... and if another potential partner shows up great, if not, that's ok too. Because
you have learned to love yourself, you are not desperate for another relationship. —Carol Ferguson

8. You're better off. If your partner was abusive, it is best for you and your children to be out of there. Children
learn by example and you do not want a bad example to teach them about marriage and relationships. —Carol
Ferguson

9. You can focus. There are some less-than-obvious but definite benefits of being a divorced woman. Those
benefits exist, provided she chooses to focus her attention on her own life and the well being of her children,
rather than on the past and what she cannot change. This mental and emotional discipline separates those who
thrive after divorce from those who merely get by or drown in bitterness and disappointment. Focus is key. —
Micki McWade

10. You'll gain strength. A divorced woman often grows stronger and more courageous than her married friends.
She learns to balance new responsibilities along with the old ones and becomes more aware of her children's
needs. She sees that she can solve unfamiliar problems and that she can get it done, even when feeling lower than
low. This expanded strength will serve her well in many ways as she moves forward in her life. —Micki McWade

11. You'll gain compassion. Those who have been through the painful, sorrowful and gut-wrenching experience of
divorce develop more empathy and compassion toward others. This pain opens her heart even more to others
who are suffering. She becomes more relatable. —Micki McWade

12. You'll become more creative. For every problem there is a solution and divorced women find those solutions.
Human beings don't grow as much when things go smoothly. We stretch ourselves and expand our capabilities
during times of crises and change. Divorce offers many opportunities to become creative problem-solvers and
consequently expand our skills.

13. You'll exercise self-discipline. Women who have been through divorce learn the value of measuring words. To
protect her children she exercises self-control and uses discretion when they are present. She learns patience
when the divorce process doesn’t go well or quickly enough. She learns to monitor spending as financial
circumstances change. A divorced woman gives her children more love and attention as their lives shift, even when
she is dog-tired or stressed to the max. —Micki McWade
14. You have the opportunity to reevaluate. While some doors close, divorce opens others. Divorced women have
the opportunity to heal. They reevaluate themselves and their circumstances—who am I now? Who and what do I
want in my life? What's standing in the way and how can I clear those obstacles? —Micki McWade

15. You can explore. Divorced women have the opportunity, in small and large ways, to explore possibilities. Even
with limited time, she can look at course catalogs, take a class online, try a new sport, read about something that
interests her, and emulate successful people.
When a woman is conscious about how she goes through and recovers from divorce, keeping the focus on herself
and on what's best for her children, the possibilities are endless. —Micki McWade

16. You can please yourself for a change. You get to do what you please, when you please! There's no one asking,
"What's for dinner?" "Do we have to go to that party tonight?" or "Are you really going to wear that?" Believe me,
there’s nothing more pleasing than being able to please yourself for a change and remember; you deserve it! —
Rachel Gladstone

17. You'll benefit from the rebound effect. The act of rebounding drives home the fact that there is such a thing
as new love after divorce. Whether you wait two years to run headlong into a new pair of arms or stumble out
there after only four days, the parameters of the rebound relationship are still the same. It's really good for you!
And the mere act of kissing someone who isn't your ex-husband can make you feel almost virginal again.

18. Divorce looks good on you. It’s time for a whole new you; not just on an emotional level, but on a physical one
as well. Take this opportunity to reinvent yourself by restyling your hair and revamping your wardrobe. A little
retail therapy goes a long way when it comes to the healing process and what looks good on the outside will help
you feel better on the inside too! —Rachel Gladstone

19. It's a chance to change habits and patterns. This is an ideal time to look at yourself and change habits and
patterns that you don't like and that didn't work for you in your marriage. Seek out a qualified therapist or a
brainstorm buddy who is there to support you, provide honest feedback and help you embrace your new life. —
Sharon Rivkin

20. It's an opportunity to be independent. Make a bucket list of all the things that you’ve always wanted to do and
didn’t get to do when you were marrie. This may seem daunting and scary, because you were used to doing
everything as a couple, but look at this as a golden opportunity for you to start living your life again as an
independent woman. —Sharon Rivkin

21. You have the ability to make better choices. Rather than thinking of your marriage as a failure, view it as a
stepping stone of experience. You most likely gained wisdom that will help you choose a better partner for yourself
in the future. So, applaud yourself for having the courage to get out of something that wasn’t working and be
proud of yourself for moving forward on your own.
Summary

I'm in favor with divorce law. It's better than married to a partner that commits adultery. Children
cannot understand this situation, that is why you should explain it to them the reason. People are not
perfect we are only human not gods, we sometimes make wrong decisions, because we were
deceived, fooled, tricked, people will only show their real color or dark side during the married life.
May I ask you during courting or in a relationship do yo want to show your flaws? That's why theres a
saying: "Put your best foot forward." people are prone in making mistakes because of fake faces.
Divorce is no joke, it's an opportunity for people to have a second chance to learn from our mistakes
and a second chance in life to be happy.

we respect that marriage is the sacred union of love but we can never avoid such marriage that do not
fit to each other...and the only remedy is to divorce. It's not the end of the family,it's only the end of
the unhealthy marriage. you know what i mean so be it..;lets make a move don't wait till something
worse happen...the five grounds are derived from the irreparable breakdown of marriage. lets give
them another chance to live life with their desired happiness..

Question

What are they proposing: to make two people who cannot live together to forcibly do so? Will the
children not suffer more?

If you are living in a violent situation divorce and the family court is your out. If ever you should divorce,
there is no better reason than domestic abuse.

We respect the holiness of marriage but How can you keep the sanctity of marriage if both of you in a
relationship if you don’t love each other for example is in the fixed r arrange wedding??

Will you want to stay on a husband that abuses you hurt you?

Will you keep a relationship where in both of you are suffering because you are tied together in
marriage and do not love each other because your marriage is only cause of business affair?

How can you say that your child will not suffer if they saw both of you fighting for you don’t love each
other?

There are some cases that the woman is the payment of her father’s debt to that person and in order to
pay the women need to marry that person but as time goes by that person is natak an na sa girl so he
wants to divorce it so do you still consider this as breaking the unity of marriage when marriage after all
is just paper for them and not some kind holy sacrament?

If you caught your spouse having an affair with not just one but many girls do you still want to keep the
marriage with that person?

If you find out that your spouse is a gay or lesbian and only marries you to hind his or her identity and
worst is having an affair with the same sex do you want to still keep the marriage?
