It may be because celebrities are in the public eye, but often their marital splits seem to be pretty brutal. Such seems to be the case in the divorce of television personalities Audrina Patridge and Corey Bohan. Patridge, 33, a California resident, and Australian-born Bohan, 36, have at least agreed to move forward with mediation in their thus far messy divorce.
Patridge, Bohan agree to use mediation to get through divorce
Do you have reason to believe your prenup is invalid?
You may have looked forward to getting married for months or even years before you finally tied the knot. In fact, your excitement may have even overshadowed any concerns you had about saying "I do" as you likely chalked those concerns up to pre-wedding nerves. Unfortunately, that excitement eventually waned, and you wish you had listened to your concerns sooner.
Important issues to consider in gray divorce
Any time a couple from California or other parts of the country decide to end a marriage, there are always many issues to discuss. Certainly, these issues are more complicated when the couple has been married for many years. Research shows that the divorce rate for couples over the age of 50 has essentially doubled in the past two decades. With so many couples facing a so-called gray divorce, experts have identified some of the most common questions they must address.
Is divorce mediation a good fit for my situation?
California residents who are preparing to go through the divorce process may be interested to learn about what options may be open to them. Litigation is not always necessary when ending one's marriage, and there are ways to avoid it if both parties are willing to put some time and effort. Divorce mediation, for example, can work for most couples.
Financial consideration for couples facing a gray divorce
The divorce rate for couples in their 50s and 60s has doubled and tripled, respectively. Changes in the alimony tax laws have led couples to rush to finalize their divorces before the end of year, though those who live in California have missed the chance to take advantage of the current tax laws if they did not file prior to July of this year. Along with alimony concerns, there are other financial matters that require thorough consideration.
Millenials view prenups as helpful tools should divorce occur
Millennials in California and elsewhere around the nation have the reputation for thinking independently and often doing things differently than the generations before them. One example of this is that they are waiting longer to get married, according to statistics. With being older, those in this demographic also realize the possibility that a marriage may end in divorce one day. To protect themselves financially, many see the benefits of getting a prenuptial agreement before they get married.
