Clarksville area residents have likely heard statistics about how approximately 50 percent of marriages in the U.S. will eventually end in divorce. While divorce is common and most people likely know several divorcees, when it becomes personal, it's normal to feel very isolated and alone. In fact, individuals facing divorce are likely to experience a range of feelings and emotions including sadness, fear, confusion and anxiety.
Whether married for 20 or two years, choosing to end a marriage can leave even the most composed and level-headed individual feeling out-of-control and at a loss. For individuals facing a divorce, it's normal to have many questions and concerns related to child custody, living arrangements and finances. A divorce attorney who has handled numerous different types of divorces can answer questions, provide advice and help an individual successfully through the divorce process.
For individuals contemplating or planning to file for divorce, concerns about money and how they will be able to provide for themselves and their children are often top-of-mind. In some divorces, arguments over what to do with a family home, how to divide retirement assets and who should be responsible for paying marital debts can become contentious and result in a divorce dragging out for months or even years.
