Law Offices of A. Sam Jubran, P.A

Undoubtedly, the day two people unite in marriage is counted as one of the most rewarding and joyous days in one's life. And as such, when walking down the aisle on that blissful wedding day, the idea of divorce is rarely on the mind. It isn’t something anyone imagines they’ll face on such a celebratory day. So when a couple does decide to separate or divorce, it is often an unexpected and painful choice. Both parties are extremely stressed and emotional, making levelheaded decisions difficult to make. Increasing the intensity of a dissolution is, in some cases, children to co-parent and assets or debts in which to share and/or divide.

But surely the distressed couple is not alone in the Jacksonville demographic. According to a study done by Men’s Health Magazine, Jacksonville rates #6 in the nation for the most divorces per year. What contributes to this high level of divorce in such a sunny and seemingly happy area? Though not pleasant to consider, some of the top reasons behind divorce include adultery, financial difficulties, depression, addiction and work-related stress and obligation.

Counselors believe that couples come to Florida for a fresh start. They think that this beauty and climate will help them overcome the issues they faced in their previous location. Change of scenery can brighten up a relationship and certain stressors may be alleviated. However, most often the couple soon realizes that the obstacles in their union indeed followed them to Jacksonville.

Marriages can last a short time, decades, or somewhere in between. What is true for all of these categories is that this parting of ways is frequently a powerfully heartbreaking crossroad one finds themselves standing at. Don't try to navigate this alone.
