Divorce comes with many consequences, especially if there are children in the picture. When the majority of people divorce, they face financial hardship, drastic lifestyle changes, parenting issues and negative effects on their children, insecurity, uncertainty, and fear. The severity of these consequences obviously varies quite a bit from case to case, but the same problems are typically present. If the relationship isn’t so far gone that staying married sounds worse than the alternative, you may not be ready for divorce.
