What Usually Happens During A Divorce?

Hello

I have been in a marriage for 8 years with 2 children. The last two years of our marriage has grown my husband and I apart from one another in which we are just basically roomates caring for children.

I have been thinking about divorcing and have read a little bit about what may happen during a divorce process.

I would be interested in hearing from people who can share what the "typical" route a divorce takes when there are children involved, ownership of property, where one spouse works part time and did so to accomodate taking care of the children, and anything else that I may find helpful.

I am also interested in hearing about what things to be careful with during a divorce process.

Your help is much appreciated.

I don't think that there is a 'typical' route, each marriage is different and each divorce is different.


It is my opinion that every marriage could benefit from therapy - whether or not the process ends in divorce or not. this is especially true when there are children involved - but not only. this will help you
