Why Women Choose To Divorce?

2010-09-09T15:18:00.001-07:00

By James Wallis

The high proportion of divorces filed in the UK by women reflects just the domiciled population. Apart from this, ‘divorce tourism’ has really captured the imagination, heart and purse strings of European wives who are flying down to file divorce against rich husbands in this country, supposedly to get a more favourable judgement.

Needless to say, the press is enjoying all the hullabaloo. So are women divorcing because that is an infallible, legally acceptable and socially credible get-rich quick scheme? It seems that there is a great dark shadow beneath all this limelight. While the multimillionaire wives get to flash their smiles and billionaire husbands on front pages on divorce, there is a huge population of women who are being pressed into divorce by circumstances that are far from complimentary.

The Casanova Streak

An unfaithful husband is not welcome by women in the UK, or for that matter, anywhere else. Among all the cases of infidelity registered here, the men had been to blame in 75% of the cases. The majority is just too staggering, and is apparently on the rise! Most of the wives surveyed by the government responded by stating that they prefer giving a second chance if the husband owns it up on his own. Unfortunately, in most of the cases, the wife either discovers her man in the act, or hears it from others, or employs detectives to find it out. The common reaction is a kind of knee-jerk effect – the wife just packs her bags and leaves with the children in tow. Most women are in no mood to ‘discuss’ it again if they discover that they have been cheated. Most husbands complicate and worsen matters by trying to either make excuses or buy peace or shift the blame.

Mutual Consent

The amicable divorce is fast becoming the new favourite in the UK. This does not mean that we have become drastically peace-loving and dispassionate as a nation. It merely means that people would rather spend less getting divorced than blow their cash on the last great quarrel together. If the couple manage to strike up a deal where mutual consent has been reached over as many factors as possible, then the least amount of money would be spent. The real reason behind the divorce may be something quite different, but most women are anyway under great economic constraint when they divorce, so they can’t afford to drag on with it.

Physical and Emotional Abuse

It is a matter of deep shame that the rate of abuse – both physical and emotional is on the rise in the UK. Most of the perpetrators of violence at home are males in the age group between twenty-five to fifty and who take complete advantage of their powerful economic and social position to subdue the family. An abusive husband almost never spares the children either. Physical abuse has still had some publicity, but there is an abysmal lack of awareness on emotional abuse, including among those who should be upholding the law. Many men sponge up all the resources of the family, drowning the money in drinking or lavish hobbies while the family suffers. Many women who are well-placed economically become burdened with jealous and abusive husbands who nevertheless do not want to give an easy divorce because they want the money. Sometimes the violence is bad enough for a criminal offence to be launched, and it is unbelievable that man can fall to such an extent.

The Empty Nest

Children are often the greatest cementing factor in a marriage. There are women who stay on in an otherwise disadvantageous match solely because of the children. But the kids grow up one day and fly the nest, and then there is no need to hold on to the shells of a marriage that is quite hollow. This is known as the empty nest syndrome and is very common in almost all countries including the East now, especially in Japan. What is the woman supposed to do when she’s done with being a great mother and an able wife? Many women in their late forties are striking out on their own to find a life by themselves and do things that they always wanted to, but never had the chance to do.

So women divorce for all kinds of reasons, and some are highlighted, while others remain perpetually neglected.

Before you even begin divorce proceedings start placing in claims for those benefits which you are legally entitled to.

Make sure that any credit cards you have in joint names with your ex are cancelled. Otherwise your partner may choose to use these to run up huge amounts of debt which need to be repaid by you both or by you alone. The more credit cards you have the harder it will be to actually get your credit score back on a level and good footing.

Divorced And Penniless - Why It Can Happen To You

Cathi Adams ©All Rights Reserved

What you do not know can actually harm you badly. The truth is that even as you continue to regularly read about those hefty divorce settlements celebrities are getting all the time, some divorce lawyers are fighting back - and succeeding. The result is that you could end up not only nursing the emotional wounds of a divorce but also having to cope with a situation where you are virtually penniless.

It is happening all the time these days and you can be sure that the double burden of juggling the financials and your bruised emotions is definitely something you do not want to go through. There is really only one thing you can do, and that is prepare for divorce now rather than later. Just like a nation fully prepares and arms itself to the teeth for war in peacetime, every woman should prepare and arm themselves fully for divorce while still in a happy marriage.

Most nations who prepare well for war often find that they do not have to fight and in the same way a smart woman who prepares for any eventuality of divorce will often find that because of her preparations, divorce can be avoided.

Many good-natured wives currently happily married do not even want to think of the prospect of a divorce. These women are sitting ducks for a situation where they could suddenly find themselves out in the cold, penniless and divorced. That equally good-natured loving husband of many years is no different from other loving husbands who have suddenly and casually made the totally unexpected remark one evening after supper, "I want a divorce." Can you imagine starting to make your plans at that time? When the shock alone can take you several days to recover from? You will hardly be in a position to think clearly enough to hire the right attorney to fight for a decent settlement. This is exactly the sort of scenario that can land you into big financial trouble.

All through the history of mankind, women have been known for their ability to prepare for events. The wise modern woman will also prepare and protect herself for any situation that will arise in the event of her marriage taking an unexpected turn.

The Beauty of Single Parenting

The Beauty of Single Parenting (Every Cloud DOES have a Silver Lining)

Cathi Adams © All Rights Reserved

I miss being married. I miss the things we used to do. I
wish our differences didn't bring us to divorce... BUT they
did so.... I have to do my best to deal with the cards I
have been dealt. I do this by focusing on the good in my
life now, cherishing the time I spend with my son, living my
life to the fullest, and making my own rules.

My son was 3 when I got divorced so he wasn't at the age to
establish any homework patterns yet. But he went to a school
that gave homework at an early age so by the time he was 6
we had homework to do every night. I think that is where the
term "nightmare" was born.

It was horrible. I would get off work at 5:00 and get home
at 6:00 pm. Then I would make dinner and by 7:00 we sat down
to start homework.

Unfortunately, by then he was exhausted from a long day at
school and in no mood to sit and do work. That's when the
fighting would start. I just didn't know what to do. The
last thing I wanted to do when I got home from a long day at
work was to fight with my son. The last thing he wanted to
do after a long day at school was homework. Neither of us
was in the mood for anything but rest which, unfortunately
for us, was not an option.

I read everything I could and tried everything I read.
Nothing worked for me. Getting his homework done was a
horrible event. At the other end of the spectrum, there
seemed to be paradise at my ex's home. He is remarried with
a "stay-at-home" wife (a wonderful woman) who is there every day when the
children arrive home from school. She lets them have a quick
snack and then it's homework time. They are done with all
their work by the time their father gets home and life is
good for them. At least that is what his wife said when she
called me to ask why my son does homework at my house at 7:00
pm. "They" (she is speaking for herself and my ex)
feel he should be doing his homework at 4:00 at
my home like he does at "her" home. Hey, I wish that too...
but in reality it is impossible for me in my current setup.

I am not sure they understand that. While I do have someone
at home who stays with my son until I arrive home from work,
she is not an authoritative figure that demands control of
my son. My son needs someone who "demands". She is just not
that type but she keeps him safe until I arrive home from
work so, for me, it "works".

Even if the caregiver could do homework with my son, I am
not sure I would be happy with that. I want to be here with
my son when he does his school work. I want to know what he
is good at or what he is struggling in. I want to help him
in his studies if he needs it. To me, that is the essence of
being a mother. Helping with school work... I know there is
so much more but at this age this is a big area - and I want
to be involved. Is that so wrong?

So what ended up happening and eventually solved our problem
was this: It got so late at night and his homework wasn't
finished so I ended up having him go to sleep, then I would
wake him in the morning to finish, and guess what happened?
He would wake up and do his homework without any fighting!
He was rested and able to focus and complete the tasks
accurately and quickly.

It took me a while to realize I had options but once I did I
thought - Who says a child HAS to do his homework at night?
It's called "homework" not "nightwork" True he is home at
night BUT he is also home in the morning, so if that works
better why shouldn't I give it a try?

So a new rule was born. If he had a test we would review the
material at night and again in the morning but written work
was done in the morning. If he needed to get up half an hour
early to get it done - he did. All of a sudden the fighting
seemed to stop. Peace once again filled my home. Life is
good now.

The point here is that when you are alone YOU can make the
rules in your home and they don't have to be what the "rest
of the world" is doing. They are doing what works for them
and you have to do what works for you.

It bothers me that my routine is so different from the
routine at his dad's house but in my search for an answer I
have sought the advice of psychologists and they say it is
perfectly OK to have different routines in each home as long
as you are consistent in each of your routines.

This current arrangement is so far from the way I thought I
would be raising my son but as long as I am not hurting him
and it works I will continue to do what's best for "us".
It's hard to think outside the box but sometimes life
commands different solutions and you have to adapt to them
and go with the flow.

Making the Decision to Divorce

Making the Decision to Divorce--Why Planning and Preparation are
Essential to Your Financial Future

Cathi Adams © All Rights Reserved

Do you believe in "Happily ever after" or "Until Death Do Us
Part?"

From the time we are little girls, women are taught to believe in
the fairy tale union of a man and a woman who love each other.
Many women never let go of the fantasy, and when they find the
man they want to marry, the end caption on their lives seems like
it will be, "And they lived happily ever after." Unfortunately,
statistics show that at least 50% of all marriages end in
divorce. Some women are left without important job skills and
barely enough money to support themselves, much less several
children.

I find it interesting that women plan for earthquakes and floods,
fire and medical emergencies, spending thousands of dollars to
insure themselves against catastrophic events that have low odds
of ever occurring, yet they fail to plan for the highly possible
event of divorce. Of course, no woman wants to think that her
marriage will be the one out of two that ends in divorce, but
when the signs begin to present themselves, planning for divorce
is as important as trying to save the marriage. Your future
depends on it. Let me ask you...

Do you know the answers to these questions?

1. How much does your husband make?
2. What does his retirement plan offer?
3. How much does he have in savings?
4. What are his investments?
5. Where are his investments?
5. What does the family owe on mortgage, business debt and credit
cards?

These are just some of the questions you need to find answers to.
Most importantly, you need to know these answers BEFORE you
announce your decision to divorce.

This information is essential to getting what you deserve in the
settlement, so don’t leave home without it.

So when it comes down to making the final decision to divorce,
quell any urge to scream "This marriage is over!" pack your bags
and slam the door on your way out. The final decision to
leave takes time, and to announce your decision also
takes time and preparation. With the right planning and
preparation, you can save money to pay the lawyer, fund your
living expenses, and give yourself a positive financial future.

HOW TO BECOME HAPPILY DIVORCED

2010-08-22T22:28:00.000-07:00

Do you cringe when you hear the word divorce? “Divorce”
conjures up thoughts of sorrow and unhappiness. When you say you
are divorced the response is, “Oh, I’m sorry”. You hear
condolences for the “death” of your marriage. Next question is,
“Are you dating?” Then if you say no they always ask, “Why not?”.

Many people think you can’t possibly be happy if you are alone.
Loneliness is a choice. I am often alone but I am rarely lonely.
Many of my clients say that they felt much lonelier when they
were in a bad marriage then when they divorced. You can choose
to make lemonade out of lemons.

Overcome your post-divorce loneliness and handle insensitive
comments. Follow these simple tips:

1. Don't tell people you are divorced (with a sorrowful look in
your eyes). Smile confidently and say, " I am Happily Divorced!"

2. Feel strong, independent and happy! Soon your brain will
catch on and you will feel it and believe it.

3. Remember all the things you used to love to do?Start doing
them again! Pull out that old needlepoint. Start painting again.
Take up photography. Volunteer for a cause you are passionate
about. Read that murder mystery you have been saving.

4. Begin a hobby you have always wanted to do.

5. Pamper yourself. Take hours getting ready to go out (Enjoy
the fact that there is no one there telling you to hurry up and
finish)

6. Make an appointment at 4:00 in the afternoon consider
yourself lucky you don’t have to “rush” home to make dinner. Be
happy your time is your own now to do as you wish!

7. Spend REAL time with your children. Sit on the floor with
them. Play a board game. Listen to their laughter. Let their
smile fill you. Embrace the fact that you have “time to smell
the roses”. Enjoy these small wonders.

8. Put your favorite singer on the stereo and dance around the
house singing (close the blinds first)

A positive mental attitude will do wonders to overcome hurdles
you will face in your new life. Remember divorce is not the end
of THE world – just the end of THAT world. Hold your head high
and keep moving forward in your new life being “Happily
Divorced”.
