Star of One Tree Hill, Bethany Joy Galeotti, divorcing husband of six years

 Bethany Joy Galeotti, who has plays a leading role in the television series “One Tree Hill,” took to her blog to announce that she and her husband of six years are getting a divorce.

“I’m sorry to say that Michael and I have decided to divorce,” the 30 year-old actress told fans through her blog. She added, “We remain friendly and dedicated to raising our beautiful girl in love and we appreciate your prayers and support during this difficult time.”

Bethany married Michael Galeotti, who is a musician, in December of 2005. Their daughter, Maria Rose, was born last February.

Bethany’s divorce announcement did not clarify why she and Michael are splitting.

This seems to be a very amicable split, but the couple will benefit from hiring a divorce attorney to help them with all the issues related to divorce.

It has become more common for celebrities to have a divorce lawyer draw up a pre-nuptial agreement to prevent possibly contentious issues from arising, but many couples do not believe they will need to have this agreement before they tie the knot.

There are numerous couples that end their marriages on agreeable terms, but oftentimes a split means endless disagreements on how to share assets and custody of children. When a couple finds themselves in the midst of a tumultuous split, their divorce attorney can give them guidance and help them with a satisfactory settlement.
