The economic downturn seems to have an unexpected impact on divorce; as the economy dips, divorces decrease. And it may be that the financial expense of divorce is a factor in divorce rates. Some recent studies show that marriages are lasting longer, and it does match up with the performance in the economy.
If you are trying to decide on separation and divorce, remember that the decision to separate is a process, not an event. In an economic downturn you can spend the time understanding what divorce will mean for you. Have a good look at your lifestyle, your expenses and the cost of carrying your debt. Work out a budget for yourself and your family in your current financial situation.
When the time is right to take the first steps to divorce, you will be ahead of the game.
