“Till Divorce Do Us Part – Coping with Divorce”
While there are a little less than 50% of couples divorcing, the United States is still home
to the most divorces. According to the CDC the current nationwide divorce rate is 42%. Well beyond the numbers are the people, the families, the children, the lawyers, the feelings, losses, trauma and possibilities that may come with divorce. Today we will be considering strategies, steps and the resilience that will help anyone dealing with divorce.
