And for many of us, this term describes a process that involves an unbearable amount of pain, frustration, and financial strain.

To Divorce or Not to Divorce?
Deciding to divorce or separate is a major life event for both people. For some, the answer to this question is clear, particularly if one of you has made the decision to separate. For others, there may be a lot of conflicting feelings, making it difficult to decide which path to take.
A lot of things can happen from the time the idea of separation or divorce is introduced as a serious option, to when you make the decision to separate, to the onset of the formal divorce process. How you handle these times will likely set a tone and attitude for the entire separation or divorce, as well as your intersecting lives for years to come. Not all couples decide to divorce during this time and may choose other options, including embarking on a trial separation or working towards reconciliation.
