When you bring a child into the world, you wish for them to live in a world of love not hate, the last thing on your mind would be to shatter your own dreams and bring your child up in a deceitful world, but many parents who are divorced are doing just that.
This is what a lot of parents do when they make the child think that loving their other parent is a crime against the first parent.
If you look at the divorce order, it can say that a custodial parent has to give the other parent access on certain days. The court order cannot stop that parent making the child feel that going to their other parent is abandonment. The court cannot stop a parent looking deflated or even angry if the child says that the time spent at the other parent was enjoyable...

Should I Get A Divorce - 5 Questions To Ask Yourself
On the other hand, sometimes the problems in a marriage are so great that divorce may be the only viable option. For those situations, divorce truly is the best choice for all involved, despite the pain it will cause.If you or your spouse is considering a divorce and yet you feel there still may be hope in saving your marriage, try asking yourself these 5 questions before you make a decision.
1. Do you still love your spouse? This is perhaps the most important starting point in terms of asking yourself a series of honest questions about your relationship.

2. Is there anything you need to get off your chest? Are you harboring any information about things you have done or things you need to tell your spouse...

Ask divorce lawyer about co-ownership of property
Question: I have been married for 25 years and have three children. My name is not on the deed to our $600,000 home. If I divorce my husband, am I entitled to half of the assets even though the house isn't in my name? We live in Massachusetts. I am sick over this and don't have money for a lawyer.
Answer: You may be entitled to half the value of the house, but it will depend on the circumstances.
First, I'm curious to know why your name isn't on the deed after all this time. But even if your name isn't on the deed, if the house is a marital asset (bought after you were married), and particularly if you have contributed sweat equity, if not money, to the purchase and maintenance of the property, then you may have a good case to make for equal ownership whether or not you are listed on the property...

Tough Real Estate Market Makes Divorce Tougher
Divorce is rarely an easy process. But falling home values and sluggish real-estate sales are combining to make it particularly difficult right now.Couples aren’t fighting over who gets to keep the house. They’re scrambling to get away from the burden of it.
It’s too soon to see the trend in official statistics; the most recent marriage and divorce numbers compiled by the National Center for Health Statistics date back to 2005 – just when real-estate markets started to turn down from their boom years..

Telling Your Divorce Story
As a recent divorcee, I am searching for the best, most polite way to address inquiries regarding my marriage and/or former spouse. Only close friends and immediate family are privy, and it seems rather brusque simply to say, "Oh, we're divorced," and then change the subject. It wasn't a messy or scandalous divorce, simply a parting of ways. Is there an appropriate way to address this that avoids awkward moments?
People need stories to make sense of unexpected events in their social world. If they don't get them, they're disconcerted and distressed - and they'll make up a story of their own to explain what's happened, which presumably is the last thing you want. So take charge and decide what story you want to get out there. When your name comes up in casual conversation and someone says, "Hey, I hear A.A. and B.B. got a divorce. What happened?" what would you like the other person to say? (The friend is not going to say, "I think it's none of our business and we shouldn't discuss A.A.'s personal life" - people aren't built that way.) That's the story that you should be telling people...

What To Do Before The Divorce
There’s no reason for couples to fight like wildcats over property bought during their marriage. If you’re in this mess, try to convince your spouse to talk it over like politically correct adults.
Issue number one to be discussed is the custody of the children. Both of you must understand that the children need both of you in their lives. Work it out between you with the children’s well-being in mind.
The second issue is the home. Equally divide the value of the house, subtract the outstanding balance of the mortgage and calculate the remaining equity and split it between the two of you 50-50...

What's A Divorce Got To Do With Your Mortgage Refinance?
When Love is Gone
When love leaves, the travails of married couples begin. Everything about their partner is gross, unappealing, and irritating. Life becomes a struggle to keep up with the pretense that things are okay. When you’re the aggrieved partner, you silently wish that things will suddenly take a better turn, especially with an unpaid mortgage. Refinance plans have to take a backseat for a while, so, no go.
Not all divorces end well, but for those who want more money from their house faster, they’ll settle fast and work around their mortgage.
Refinance is usually another exit of a relationship and to get the spouse out of the house fast...
