Should I stay in my marriage?

In many cases, divorce can be compared to an emotional roller coaster.  How many times have you decided that divorce is the right answer for you?  How many times did you change your mind about your decision?

Divorce does not happen overnight – there are steps that need to be taken before your judgment is made final.  Every relationship has its ups and downs.  Just because you and your spouse had an argument or a disagreement does not mean you should head for divorce court. However, when the decision to divorce is real, it is time to begin the divorce process and think about all the issues that need to be decided upon, such as spousal support, child support, child custody, and who lives in the marital home.

If you are still in the learning stages, you do not need to leave your home; it may also be too early to tell your spouse or children what you’re thinking.  If you are still going back-and-forth in your head about what is best for you, and find yourself still on the emotional roller coaster, this may be the time to meet with an experienced Orange County Divorce attorney to discuss your legal options.
