Reasonable Grounds for Divorce
Divorce is an increasing issue with over 50% of marriages ending in divorce. It is important to know that no marriage is the same. The excuses couples think they need a divorce can vary.
Marriage is a important decision and should not be taken lightly. Once you get to know a potential mate you should consider getting married, but not until you get to know the person you might marry as they really are and not the way they are just in front of you.
The popular reasons are cheating, constructive abandonment, conversion, imprisonment for a certain period or time, abuse, or the most popular reason which is irreconcilable differences.
Adultery makes sense. If your husband or wife has an affair, it may be grounds for divorce. Many married couples try to overcome it if it was an in the moment thing or with one person. If your spouse cheats several times with different partners, even after overcoming one affair, then change is unlikely and that may be a valid reason for divorce.
Constructive abandonment occurs when the couple stop physical contact with each other for one year or more. This commonly is from the couple separating and living in different dwellings.
Conversion is basically an agreement before the marriage that the couple will get a divorce and the time has come to complete that agreement.
Imprisonment for a period of time. In some cases a spouse may be incarcerated for a long time and the other spouse may want to get on with life either because of the long period of time apart or because of the reason for incarceration.
Abuse should not be ignored whether it is physical or mental. Nobody deserves to live in fear or mental distress and if one spouse is violent to the other, it may be an excuse for a divorce.
Irreconcilable differences means the couple cannot work out their disagreements and want a divorce. This is often used so both parties will agree to divorce.
Some marriages never should have been created. Some people want to file for divorce, but their religous leader tells them that they need to work out their differences and because of this they stay in a doomed relationship for years before finally getting out.
When children are involved divorce requires much more thought and consideration. Divorce can really damage a child. Many experts agree that couples where children are involved should stay together until all the kids are out of the home and then if they still feel the desire, they can file for a divorce.
If you are considering getting a divorce think about the reasons above that many people use as grounds for divorce. More often than not the differences could be worked out and the couples can remain happily married for the rest of their lives.
