Generally speaking, cities have higher divorce rates than rural areas.  The divorce rate also varies from region to region and state to state partly because divorce laws differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and partly because of cultural, racial, and religious differences in the population.

Studies show that minority couples have a higher divorce rate than non-minority couples and that of the three major religious groups (Roman Catholics, Protestants, and Judaism) divorce rates are lowest amongst Roman Catholics.  Tulsa Divorce Attorneys

Our purpose in writing this post is to add some perspective to your thinking.  Chances are if you are reading this post, you are experiening a complex divorce and hopefully by reading this article, you will gain some clarity.

Reason Number One:  The Uncertainty.  During the beginning of the divorce process you have to answer questions like: where am I going to live?  where are my children going to live?  how am I going to pay the bills from month to month?

Reason Number Two: Breakdown In Communication.  During the early stages of the divorce, chances are high that you and your spouse have experienced a breakdown in communication that has left you with a lack of clarity about how to move forward.

Reason Number Three: Strong Feelings.  During the early stages of the divorce, the uncertainty, the lack of clarity about which direction to move, and the heart ache cause both spouses to experience strong feelings.  These strong feelings, can at times be overwhelming.  Tulsa Divorce Attorneys

Mother’s Day spread to America from England sometime during the second half of the 19th century. In 1872, Julia Ward Howe made a suggestion that Mother’s Day should be observed, nation wide as a nationally recognized holiday. During those early years, Mother’s Day was celebrated in June.

In 1887 Mary Towles Sasseen, a school teacher, began holding Mother’s Day celebrations each year in her classroom. The practice soon spread to other school districts. In 1904, Frank E. Hering launched a nation wide campaign for national observance of the holiday.

One decade later in about 1915, a joint resolution of Congress was signed by the President recognizing Mother’s Day as a national holiday. Tulsa Divorce Attorneys

Today, the laws of most all states allow a spouse to seek divorce based on the grounds of  no-fault.  Most no-fault divorces are based on the grounds of irreconcilable differences.  A handful of states have entirely done away with the traditional grounds for fault divorce and allow spouses to file for divorce only on grounds of no-fault.  Additionally, some states allow a spouse to seek divorce based on the fact that they and their spouse have been living apart and other states allow divorce to be based on te grounds of incompatibility.  Tulsa Divorce Attorneys

When a spouse seeks a divorce they must file divorce papers at their local court house and then appear in front of a judge to explain the reasons why the marriage should be dissolved.  Based on the evidence presented, the judge will make a decision whether or not to grant the moving spouse’s request.

Once a divorce is granted, the laws for remarriage vary from state to state but most states permit the newly divorced spouses to marry each other again if they reconcile their differences.  Tulsa Divorce Attorneys

When a party to a divorce pleads ‘fault grounds’ as the basis for filing the divorce, he or she must prove that their spouse has committed fault.  For example, a husband seekig a divorce on the grounds of adultery must prove that his wife did in fact commit adultery.  The wife may contest the divorce  by introducing evidence in the court room that she did not in fact commit adultery.  If the judge accepts the wife’s proof, then the judge may refuse to grant the divorce.

Again, it is important to keep in mind that the fault grounds vary from state to state and so do the rules for pleaing fault as a basis for divorce.  Tulsa Divorce Attorneys
