He or she or your partner was once a loved one but for some reason the love is gone, the trust is gone and you can’t get past the problem. What do you do? Hang in there, stay together and hopefully you will not be miserable the rest of your lives. Not likely. Really, if you have concluded that things are just not going to work out. Counseling is not working, in fact, it is making the perceived relationship problem worse.
Maybe the best way to deal with the problem is to jointly seek an uncontested divorce. Often called a no fault divorce or a divorce based on Irreconcilable differences in Tennessee. Still you have to agree to agree because if you can’t put together an agreement also known as a Marital Dissolution Agreement you can’t get a divorce on no fault grounds.
Tennessee is a separate and joint property state and not a community property state. So if you didn’t put together a pre-nuptial agreement before you got married, you will have to figure out whose is whose in order to reach that agreement.
A no fault divorce will become even more difficult for you if you have children. I don’t have time with this publication to explain how much the children will be hurt over a divorce. Far more, than you can imagine. Still with good parenting skills, you can still get a no fault divorce but it will require more time on your part and mine.
If you think you need to end this marriage for good reasons that you both agree on and can come to an understanding as to how to divide things up, give me a call. The initial phone conversation is free. Typically, I will quote you a flat fee so you don’t have to worry about monthly billing statements.
