We are living in complicated times, and as the complexity of our day-to-day life is impacted, it can feel overwhelming as we deal with the responsibilities to our family, our work, and our community.\u00a0 The factors of \u201ccurrent times\u201d include, but are not limited to, politics, wars, pandemics, economics, global weather changes, mass shootings, etc. [referred to as \u201cstuff\u201d].\u00a0 All of these things seem to be more present at this time than in the past.\u00a0 However, all of these variables have been present in our lives in the past, but for whatever reasons, seem to be more prevalent now.\u00a0 Does this have any impact on divorce?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of course, all things have an impact on divorce.\u00a0 But for some, this current \u201cstuff\u201d has more impact than others and may cause increased concerns\/emotions\/etc.\u00a0\u00a0 The important thing to realize is that if reconciliation can replace divorce, that might be a good solution, but if reconciliation isn\u2019t an option, and divorce is inevitable, then blending these variables\/concerns into the overall agreement is important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That said, a divorce is a phase in the life of those involved, and the significance varies from couple to couple, but the full consideration of all the factors impacting the divorce is part of the mediation process and is extremely important.\u00a0 Each situation is unique in its own right, and creating the best plan, considering the variables, is what the mediation process tries to accomplish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
