According to statistics, third marriages have the highest rate of failure. Approximately 73 percent of third marriages are dissolved, usually with the assistance of a divorce lawyer. Only 41 percent of first marriages end in divorce.
The fate of a marriage is dependent on the willingness of the married parties to reconcile their differences and solve any issues that arise; however, there are times that this isn’t possible, so hiring a divorce attorney is imminent.
Dividing communal assets and deciding the fate of any children are the primary concerns when people decide to leave their marriages. A divorce lawyer will apply their expertise in order to ensure their clients receive the settlement that is due for the time they committed to their spouses.
