At Kendall Gkikas & Mitchell, we have years of experience handling all manner of family law cases, including divorces. We’ve seen a wide range of reasons people divorce and many different types of situations. Below are some of the more common reasons people come to us to dissolve their marriage. Whether you see your reason listed or it’s something else entirely, if you’re considering getting a divorce then we urge you to call us today at 909-482-1422 to set up your appointment.
Spouses feeling differently about having kids
One of the most common reasons we see people getting divorced is because one of them wants children and the other doesn’t. In some cases, the issue was never discussed before marriage and in other cases it was but one partner changed their mind. We’ve also worked with spouses who tried to have children, discovered they couldn’t, and then one spouse was more interested than the other in pursuing other options.
One or both spouses weren’t faithful
It’s one of the oldest stories in the book: A couple gets married, takes vows, and then one or more of them doesn’t live up to them. This happens to couples in all age groups, from all backgrounds, and with a huge variety of stories. We’ve worked on divorce cases where both partners were faithful for decades, only to step in their older years.
The marriage happened at too young of an age
First loves are intense. Many people can’t imagine ever loving anyone else or ever falling out of love. Those of us who’ve gotten through those situations without getting married know that other relationships will come around and that young love doesn’t often last. Unfortunately, some couples did get married when they were young. If that’s your situation, we can help you with your divorce, custody issues, and more.
They grew apart or didn’t have much in common
In the beginning, strong feelings may seem like enough. As couples remain married for a period of time, they may start to realize that they don’t have much in common after all, or they may realize that they’ve changed and grown apart. In these situations, both members of the partnership often still like the other one very much but they no longer want to be married to them.
Constant arguing about money
Money is one of the biggest causes of conflict overall, and this is especially true when it comes to marriage. Maybe one spouse makes a lot more than the other one. Maybe one wants to put as much money into a retirement account as possible while the other one wants to take frequent vacations. These issues can really add up.
No matter why you’re thinking of getting a divorce, Kendall Gkikas & Mitchell is here for you. Call us today at 909-482-1422 to set up your appointment.
