Tell-tale signs your marriage is headed toward divorce

On Behalf of | Jul 1, 2022 | Family Law |

When you get married, there’s a good chance you aren’t thinking about the day when your marriage will end. Unfortunately, millions of couples divorce each year. 

Are you worried that your marriage is headed in this direction? If so, it’s a good idea to learn what your legal options are. It’s also beneficial to learn some of the tell-tale signs that divorce is imminent. Here are a few: 

You and your spouse have changed

It’s only natural to change. However, if you and your partner aren’t changing and growing together, you will likely drift apart. While you may not hate each other, you probably just grew apart and may want different things. 

You no longer make an effort (or vice versa)

It’s important to realize that making an effort is something that goes both ways. If you aren’t interested in trying to work things out or don’t want to go to counseling, then it may be a sign you are headed for a divorce. In some cases, resentment can make it hard to move past these issues. 

There’s a real lack of support

It’s important to listen to and feel heard in a marriage. In fact, it is a key element of a successful relationship. If you nor your spouse is putting in the effort or taking the time to listen, it’s another sign you may be headed for a divorce. 

Protecting your rights when filing a divorce

If you decide that a divorce is the right next step for you, it’s important to talk to a legal professional about your options and the process you should follow. This is going to help ensure that you get the results desired for the situation. While divorce isn’t pleasant, knowing your legal rights and options can benefit all parties.
