Augusta Military Divorce Attorney – Recession Causing Some To Put Off Divorce
The recession is forcing many couples to cut back on a number of things they would have done in better economic times and apparently divorce is one of them.
According to the Sacramento Bee, divorce filings compiled by the family law court in Sacramento County fell in 2008 compared to the previous year and are continuing to fall in the first few months of 2009.
One of the reasons for this may be the economy and the idea that it might be cheaper to stick with a messy marriage rather than foot the expense of splitting up. But perhaps even more daunting to those considering a divorce has been the loss of their retirement account or the equity in their home.
“We used to have enough equity in one house for people to set up the mom’s house and the dad’s house. One person would keep the house, and the other would keep the retirement,” Carol Delzer, a Sacramento divorce lawyer told the paper. “Now there’s no more equity, and there’s less money in the 401(k).”
Although the number of divorces may be down in Sacramento, a little further south in Hollywood there are plenty of divorces to talk about. Recently Mel Gibson’s wife Robyn Gibson filed for divorce after 28 years of marriage in what most say will be one of the most costly divorces in history.
