Divorce may be appropriate when the marriage is irretrievably broken and attempts at reconciliation have failed

The decision to end a marriage is deeply personal and often complex. Before pursuing divorce, it’s important to carefully evaluate your situation and ensure you’ve explored all available options. A thoughtful assessment of your circumstances should consider both emotional and practical factors.

Common indicators that divorce may be the right choice include:

  • Irreconcilable differences that persist despite counselling efforts
  • Ongoing patterns of emotional or physical abuse
  • Complete breakdown of trust and communication
  • Fundamental differences in values or life goals
  • Long-term separation without prospects of reconciliation

Before proceeding, it’s advisable to consult with professionals including a family law specialist, marriage counsellor, and financial advisor to understand all implications and ensure you’re making an informed decision.
