Divorce Myths
For a variety of reasons, untruths about divorce have been allowed to persist. Holding onto some of these misguided beliefs can prevent an individual from pursuing a divorce where necessary or may lead them to have an inaccurate impression of the possible outcomes. The following are some divorce myths:
- Premarital cohabitation improves the success rate of marriages – it has become increasingly common for couples to live together before marriage, but the practice actually leads to an increase in the likelihood that a couple will divorce
- Subsequent marriages are likely to last despite the failures of earlier unions – each successive marriage is accompanied by a higher divorce rate
- Men are more likely to initiate a divorce – actually, women suggest the idea in 65 percent of all divorces.
- The court will award custody of children to the mother –While the majority of children go with the mother, if she is deemed physically or mentally unfit to care for the child, the father will get the children.
