Limited Divorce
Most people believe that approximately half of all marriages end in divorce. While this is not exactly false, it is also somewhat misleading. Young couples between the ages of 20-24 have the highest rates of divorce of any age group. In addition, second and third marriages are more likely to end in divorce than a first marriage.
However, couples of any age or in any situation may face divorce, and when marital discontent begins to sour a relationship, there are a number of options available to every couple. No matter what your circumstances, our understanding Austin divorce attorneys at Slater, Kennon & Pugh LLP want to help. Call us at 512-472-2431 today.
Factors in Limited Divorce
A couple considering divorce needs to decide what type of divorce is right for their unique situation. With limited divorce, a court orders that the spouses live separately. The couple is still legally regarded as married, however. This type of divorce is also known as legal separation. While the court can make some decisions regarding asset division and temporary child custody, a couple that does wish to divorce completely after a limited divorce will often seek absolute divorce. Some reasons that limited divorce may be considered include:
- Abandonment
- Domestic Violence
- Adultery
- Religious Reasons
