Leading Reasons for Divorce Today
While there are many reasons people get divorced today, our Missouri divorce lawyers are here to highlight a few below.
Being Unfaithful
One of the top reasons some marriages end in divorce is that either one spouse or both spouses cheated on each other. While being unfaithful doesn’t always end the marriage, it can. Trust is likely broken and can be very hard to repair.
Financial-Related Reasons
Financial-related reasons can mean a lot of different things, but these types of reasons are one of the leading causes of divorce. One spouse may have hidden the fact they have a ton of debt or perhaps there is a disagreement on how to spend money. It can come back to trust. If two spouses can’t trust each other to be financially responsible, it can make for a difficult marriage.
A Failure to Communicate To Each other
Communication can make or break a marriage. You’ve got to be able to communicate with your partner. If you’re both constantly ignoring each other or rather than calmly speaking, you’re always screaming at one another, your communication is likely off. Not all couples who have communication issues divorce. Problems like this can be solved but you have to be willing to solve it, both parties. In some cases, couples choose to end the marriage over it.
