Getting divorced when one wants to stay in the marriage

For some people, the decision to end a marriage can be very easy, whether they are fed up with their partner’s behavior, have been subjected to domestic violence or simply feel like it is time to move on. For others, it can be far more difficult to decide to split up with a spouse. In some instances, people may not want to get a divorce at all but they may have no choice because their spouse insists on moving forward with the divorce process. Even if someone wants to stay in the marriage, it is important for them to prepare for the divorce process if their spouse is determined to call it quits.

There are various reasons why people should be prepared for divorce, regardless of whether they support the marriage coming to an end or not. For example, those who have kids may have an unfavorable outcome in terms of custody or visitation if they are not prepared for their divorce. Ending a marriage can also bring up a number of financial considerations, from child support obligations to spousal support payments as well as property division, and it is imperative for people to have a good idea of what to expect in this regard as well.

If you do not want to get a divorce but your spouse is ready to end the marriage, you should still review your options carefully and make sure that you are prepared for your divorce.
