MTV’s Teen Mom Files for Divorce

By: Daun Lee

Leah Messer who is featured in MTV’s ‘Teen Mom 2” has filed for divorce just after six months of marriage. The 18 year old filed for divorce from Corey the father of her twins on April 14th. The couple had a stormy relationship; the two hooked up after Leah’s broke up with her boyfriend of three years and broke up once before. Leah and Corey got married in October of 2010 but now the nuptials are headed for divorce court. Leah was angered by Corey dipping into their joint bank account to buy a new truck among other reasons.

Teen marriages have a 26 percent chance of failure. Divorces can be ugly affairs at any age unless the parties hire a divorce lawyer to mediate the settlement. Ending a marriage can be especially difficult is children are involved.

With the divorce rate sitting at over 40 percent many spouses seeking dissolution should hire a divorce attorney to protect their assets and assure fair custody of any children is achieved. The high divorce rate can be attributed to people who hastily enter into a marriage like in Leah Messer’s case. Teenagers are generally unsure of what they want; as Leah has stated on ’16 and Pregnant’ last season. Filing for divorce is the easiest solution for a troubled marriage. The counsel of a divorce lawyer can offer the best solutions for people who are looking to separate from their spouses when the marriage can’t be saved.
