The psychological impact of divorce is one of the most stressful life experiences people face in living in our modern society.
Divorce is a common experience.
Over 3,400 divorces were granted in Vermont last year. Most of the marriages ending in divorce lasted 8 years, with some lasting five months and some lasting over fifty years. About half of the divorces involved at least one child under the age of 18. Anger, hurt and depression are normal reactions to the breakup of a marriage but may make it difficult to make decisions.
