Even when Brad chose Emily there was some question on how long their engagement would last. He gave her a nice engagement ring but their body language suggested the relationship was on shaky ground.
According to US Weekly, Maynard was seen running errands in her hometown of Charlotte North Carolina without her engagement ring. The couple lives apart, Brad lives in Texas and have only visited each other once since March. Not a promising sign for a couple who are supposed to be wed.
A source close to Emily confirmed she will be returning the ring to ABC and that their engagement is officially over.
Luckily the couple called it quits before they had to hire a divorce attorney.
All divorce lawyers work in the best interests of their clients as they are generally retained to reach support settlements and decide where children resulting from the marriage will eventually reside.
Recent studies have shown that the divorce rate is declining, mostly attributed to people marrying at an older age where maturity makes it easier for couples to save their marriage. The age difference between Brad and Emily is thirteen years so the Bachelor, who is older, may be more willing to be wed than Emily. Women who marry in their thirties or forties have a better chance of maintaining a solvent marriage and less likely to need a divorce lawyer.
A man with Brad’s assets would need an experienced divorce lawyer if the couple had decided to marry.
