Divorce By Phraina Mars

What is divorce?  To me a divorce mean when it’s the final termination of a marriage between a men and a women. It’s part of canceling the duties and also tasks of a marriage and dissolving the bonds of matrimony among two persons. Today in order to get a divorce you need the authorization of the judge in a legal route to complete a divorce. When couples get a divorce they usually get an annulment. Annulment is a legal step for declaring that a marriage is void and canceled.  Divorce is usually a retroactive meaning that it never was placed between a man and women was married.             According to Wikipedia, it had state the major legal route for divorce may also engage issues of spousal support, child custody, child support, distribution of property and division of debt. There are six kind of the divorce that a man and women have to go through in other to go with the divorce procedures. There are no-fault divorce, at-fault divorce, summary divorce, uncontested divorce, collaborative divorce, mediated divorce.             According to http://www.divorcemag.com/statistics/statsUS.shtml it explains the percentage of how many people file for divorces during the certain amount of years.  It stated that there were just about 230,000 marriages in 2005 down from 2,279,000 from the earlier year, even with a total population increase of 2.9 million over the same time. It show that the divorce rate in the year 2005. Per 1,000 people was 3.6 the lowest rate since 1970, and down from 4.2 in 2000 and from 4.7 in 1990.            Overall, I think that filing for divorce is a wrong thing that people should think of doing. I feel like both party should talk about there problem and see if there aren’t another solution to how they can hold there marriages together. I think they should go to counseling and talk about the major issues that is causing there marriage to fail. That why I think that before even thinking about getting married know who the person is and even though from time to time you and that person maybe argue a lot see if getting married is the okay move to make because I think that a lot of people that get a divorce either rush into the marriage without even knowing the person.
