Going Through Divorce During Christmas.

Going through divorce is hard any time of the year. but, it's particularly difficult during the Christmas season. Witnessing families enjoying each other company, children playing and their parents exchanging warm words and showing love, is hard for somebody separated and feeling lonely.

But, it doesn't have to be that way. It's all about finding a company, and spending time with people who understand your situation. In every larger city there are social clubs where like minded people congregate and maintain their relationships. Divorced people, or those who are separated and undergoing divorce, are often shy and withdrawn. This shouldn't though prevent them from finding and sharing the joy of Christmas.

Marriage Counseling is too Expensive - Alternatives Needed!

From my perspective, existing marriage counseling alternatives are far too expensive, for a middle income person. Living on $37,000 a year and caring for two teenagers makes my budget balancing difficult enough, as it is. Not receiving any support from my former husband, who is a well earning professional, makes it even more difficult. The fact that he gives his children expensive gifts, makes me looking even poorer.

Are divorce records available from another country?

I've just befriended a man who has and American citizenship, but he came here from Mexico, some 15 years ago. I know him for about 3 months now, and we're thinking about getting married. This would be my second marriage, but I don't know about my future husband's marital status.

He says that he was never married in the States, and he left Mexico when he was 19 y.o. He has no family here in Dallas, although quite large group of friends. because of the language barrier, I can't really communicate with them, although I really would like, hoping that they tell me more about this person.

Because I love him, and want to plan our future together, I need to be certain that there were no other women that he was, or is married to. That would put my mind to the rest.

From marriage to divorce fast - in 21st century USA!

Some 100 years ago in the US, it took a great resolve on part of one of the married couple, to change his/her status from "married" to "divorced".
Not surprisingly, with everything happening much faster now than then, in 2007 America, couples split at the earlies opportunity. Unable and unwilling to cope even with the smallest challenges that a union of two different people can create.
Where used to be a family pressure and society disapproval, now you've a "great understanding" and misplaced "compassion".
Shouldn't both parties try harder, before they overspend on divorce lawyers, that won't settle most of the couple's differences? And how can children be "compensated" for suddenly coming from a "broken home"?
