5 factors that contribute to a high divorce rate

Nearly half of all marriages in the United States will end in divorce in any given year. While many factors can contribute to a high divorce rate, experts have identified several key factors that seem to play a role in promoting higher divorce rates. In this blog post, we’ll look at some of those critical factors.

  1. Lack of commitment

One of the most common factors contributing to a high divorce rate is a lack of commitment from one or both partners. When spouses are not fully committed to the marriage, they are much more likely to call it quits.

Experts say that this is one of the most common reasons for high divorce rates when it comes to the lack of commitment.

The majority of the time, when I asked clients who were contacting me for the first time if they knew what mediation was about, the response was “not really.” Now, I find that clients who approach me are aware of what mediation is and have either made an independent choice that it is the best course of action for them, or have been sent to mediation by a lawyer. However, little is known about kid inclusive mediation, which may be a very beneficial tool for parents as well as an empowering experience for their child or children if done properly and with care.

What is child-inclusive mediation and how does it work?

The possibility (and frequently the wisdom) for parents’ children to speak with the mediator while they are using mediation (and maybe even when they are not) to talk about what happens next for them and their child(ren), in light of their separation, exists. This gives the youngster the opportunity to have a say in what will happen next in the situation. (more…)
