It’s actually ridiculous. Even if you agree on everything, it still costs thousands of dollars in legal fees to have it be made official.
Don’t get married in the first place…
Yah I’m seeing way more couples separating but not actually divorcing. Which at times is the right move if it’s amicable. The divorce process and messy and brings out the worst in both sides. There is nothing stopping you from starting your new life and seeing other people. You can sort it out later if you need to.
Go to a separation specialist vs lawyers
Way CHEAPER for everyone and done sooner !
Have had many friends over the last 1-2 years split with their partners, myself included. For every single one of us – figuring out how to pay rent on one income made us stay longer than we should have.
As a former family lawyer told me.
Divorce is expensive because it’s worth it.
Yeah divorce rates are going down due to decline in marriages and it being expensive to divorce. You can’t rebuild in Canada if you divorce and lose a lot financially these days.
Kinda describes Canada and the U.S., no?
Marriage is not an institution. It’s a market and a racket
My neighbour is going through a divorce and it has cost her a fucking fortune.
I feel so bad for her. Her ex is a psychopath.
Do they really need a survey to find it?
The church loves this.
My ex cheated on me with multiple dudes, and I got the pleasure of paying for her life afterward.
I mean if you can do it amicably, its 650$ if you want to divorce, be adults split your stuff and file it. 350-650$ to do it without lawyers .
yeah, my ex-wife and I decided in 2013 there was no salvaging the marriage (we’d been on our 2nd separation since late 2012, had met up a few times to give it a chance since then). i finally sprung for the expenses in 2015 and had her served with the papers, but we *would have* gone together and signed something that it was over 2 years earlier if it was free. definitely would have been nice to officially have moved on sooner, especially since nobody you meet (new relationship) is going to take you seriously until you’ve actually gotten a divorce finalized.
It’s absurd. It should cost much more to get married and much less to get divorced. You can be a young idiot who has known their partner for weeks and get married for virtually nothing. But then thousands to get divorced. Completely illogical.
Having seen many around me divorce, I feel like marriage should be renewed every 5 years and the terms for divorce set and reviewed at the same time while things are good. Divorce is such a scam with lawyers, psychologists, real estate agents, accountants etc getting rich while the couple fight over the leftovers and stress out for years.
My ex wife contested everything just to drag things out. Still, the best $22k I ever spent.
Not to mention the pressure of selling a home that’s underwater in equity in this market. Couples much rather be unhappy. I feel bad for the kids
This is why I got a vasectomy, graduating in 08 I saw so many friends of mine already having kids and nothing ever went right for them. Being a kid who saw my parents split up definitely didn’t help either
Im a high school teacher and I have SO MANY students who are in homes where the parents desperately need to get divorced, but can’t afford it.
These parents have 3 kids and could only afford a one bedroom if they split. So they stay together.
The older I get, the more I think people married too young.
We change so much in our twenties and even 30s.
It doesn’t surprise me people end up being incompatible.
I’m in the middle of a divorce with a drug addict whose addiction made it impossible to keep going in the marriage. ( cheating, stealing anything and everything to support his addiction) He hasn’t worked in years and he got legal aid and he’s asking for spousal support indefinitely, half the house I owned prior to marriage, half of everything I have. I’m already out 7k have about 3k left in savings and we haven’t even had a case conference yet and based on the laws in Ontario he’s likely to in fact succeed with what he’s asking for. I have the kids but since he has no income what sort of child support can he be ordered to pay? It’s absolutely gut wrenching I can’t even begin to speak about it without this amazing feeling of doom settling over me , I am screwed in so many ways and does it matter he physically abused me to get money for his drugs? NO it doesn’t and I will never ever encourage anyone to get married.
Yup. Most married couples I know, sadly. There is so much financial pressure and stress right now with the increased cost of living that has outpaced wages.
Don’t get married, I swear everyone gets divorced these days
I would never get married again, I was lucky my mortgage was affordable when I got divorced.
I know two friends who are separated and stuck sheltering in place because of affordability issues, it looks like an excruciating experience from an outside POV.
It’s cheaper to keep her
Getting married is simply a bad idea and a poor decision if you remove emotion from the equation.
I mean, that’s basically the point of marriage.
Only 1 person I know split. Most others are still together and seem to be happy though you never really know.
Divorce is the biggest destroyer of wealth most people will encounter. When that wealth is actually required to survive, it makes sense people are more hesitant about it.
The other thing is the mandatory one year wait period. Two adults should be able to divorce without state making them stay married for a year, in hopes they will make up.
7 years for me
