Second Marriage Divorce

Ideally, getting remarried means having the opportunity to do everything right that went wrong leading up to the end of a first marriage. Whether that means changing aspects of one’s own behavior, or simply finding a more compatible partner, a second marriage can mean finding that lifelong happiness that might have seemed to disappear after divorce. While roughly half of all first time marriages end in divorce, the troubling truth is that even more second marriages end the same way.

Whether or not it’s for the first or second time, a divorce is always a stressful, and often painful, experience. You may know the extra burden of having an insufficient divorce lawyer. Do not go through that again. Call 512-472-2431 to speak with a compassionate Austin divorce attorney at the law offices of Slater, Kennon & Pugh LLP.

The Truth behind the Statistics

Couples that marry young, statistically, are more likely to get divorced, especially those that marry between 20 and 24 years of age. If an average three and a half years passes between a first divorce and second marriage, it would seem that many in this divorce stricken group would have aged into a statistically more stable age range. Why, if people become less likely to divorce with age, do second and third marriages end so much more often in divorce? For whatever reason, the statistics suggest that people that have been through divorce are more likely to divorce again.
