Women and Mothers are faced with many different challenges than the typical mother in a case. Statically, on the national average, approximately sixty-seven percent (67%) or two-thirds (2/3) of all divorces are filed by the wife. While women usually face several challenges in a case that men are not accustomed to – more often than not – the men / fathers in divorce cases are frequently have little warning that a divorce is about to be filed.
There are many theories about why women file divorce more often than men, but it is our belief that women take the marriage more seriously than most men, are more sensitive to actual real problems in the marriage, and therefore by default end up filing more often.
Women also seem to be more in-tune with the issues that a divorce presents and do a lot of planning for divorce as compared to most men.
Common issues women are most interested in are:
• Temporary Hearings
• Child Support
• Child Custody
• Alimony / Spousal Support
• Equitable Division of Assets
• Equitable Division of Property
• Business and Self Employment Issues
• Rebuilding a Life as a Single Parent
It is not uncommon for a woman filing a divorce to already have moved assets, separated accounts, lined up witnesses and made plans with friends and family to get affidavits to use in court. Women frequently already have a plan in place to get alimony, child support and child custody as soon as possible at a temporary hearing. In addition, women seeking divorce have usually already made a list of assets they want and have given their attorney.
