A couple of weeks ago in our blog, we discussed tips for speaking to your children about a divorce. Remember, a divorce can be an emotional struggle for all of the parties involved—there is no sugarcoating this.

However, this does not mean that the dissolution of your marriage cannot lead to better things. If you are in a marriage where infidelity, substance abuse, emotional abuse and/or domestic violence are prevalent, the outcome of a divorce may prove to be incredibly beneficial for your child.

Additionally, if you are experiencing stressors that cannot be overcome in your marriage, including incompatibility, personality problems, communication breakdowns and/or financial fighting, seeking a divorce may prove to be a sensible decision.

Remember, you have no legal obligation to stay in a toxic marriage even if you have children.

Blogger Discusses the Benefits of Her Parents’ Divorce

We bring this issue up because recently there was an interesting blog published by the Huffington Post where author Toria Sheffield, discussed the “perks” of her parents’ divorce.

According to Sheffield, she learned a few things through her parents’ divorce, including:

I learned to have a realistic perspective on relationships (I have never been burdened by the belief that I needed to be in a relationship to feel complete.)
My expectations are not set in stone (I learned at an early age that there are many ways to live a happy (and unhappy) life.)
I understand that sometimes marriages fail, and that’s okay.

To review Sheffield’s story, you can click on the source link at the bottom of this page. She does a good job talking about how a divorce can affect a child. Nevertheless, there may be long-term positives in divorces that some people fail to fully understand.

How Can I Contact an Attorney About a Divorce?

Again, divorce is an emotional process that is also legally complex. If you are thinking about divorcing your spouse, you need to get quality advice about issues including the division of marital assets and child custody.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. KGG Law, and Barry Kantrowitz in particular, set the bar high for what a thorough, practical, strategic, compassionate and smart lawyer can be. Everything about Barry's advice and representation was exemplary and the stress mitigation that resulted was invaluable. On top of that, the ultimate result Barry achieved was beyond what was reasonable to expect and we are forever grateful. Often, people say that you hire a lawyer to prevent a problem. Sometimes, unfortunately, you need an attorney to solve a problem and I could not recommend Barry and his firm any more highly in that regard.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My dad had a great experience with this law firm. From the very beginning, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and always willing to answer our questions. They kept us informed throughout the entire process and made what could have been a very stressful situation much easier to handle. We truly appreciated their dedication, honesty, and hard work. Thanks to their support, my dad felt confident every step of the way. We are very grateful for everything they did and would highly recommend this firm to anyone looking for reliable legal representation.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a wonderful experience working with Sam Smith. He was very responsive, thorough, and easy to work with from start to finish. He walked me through everything clearly and made what started as a very stressful situation for me into something completely manageable. I would not hesitate to recommend him and the firm!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kate Carballo is a dedicated, passionate, and creative attorney whom I had the pleasure to lecture with at a state trial lawyer's conference. Kate's lecture demonstrated how she uses her innovative and "out-of-the-box thinking" to achieve outstanding results for her injured clients. That Kate is certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as a civil trial attorney is a testament to her skills, experience and commitment to excellence.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Was referred to KGG law by a friend and could not have asked for better legal representation. They walked me through every step of the process after my accident and began every call with “ how are you feeling” which was just one example of how much they care about their clients. They handled my case very efficiently, professionally and courteously. My attorney Kate Carballo was a rock star! So clearly experienced, she consistently made me feel at ease with the process. Highly recommend

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience with the team at KGG Law. While it was a traumatic time for our family, they made it very easy for us and explained all of our options. They even performed due diligence to make sure that after our settlement, there would be no further issues which I think is even more important than the settlement itself. Thank you!
