It would appear that since the recession has struck, our liberties have been cut at every turn; never mind that we can no longer afford three holidays a year, a new Ipod or a brand new CD player, but now a Coventry divorce lawyer has stated that the cities’ couples can’t even afford to get divorced!
Ms Pauline O’Rourke, of Ward and Rider Solicitors, in New Union Street, city centre has stated that since the credit crunch she has witnessed a dramatic decline in the amount of couples moving forward with their intended separation, delaying the split until they can afford it. Ms O’Rourke claims that citizens of Coventry may be staying in potentially harmful and unhappy relationships in order to avoid the financial burden that divorce can bring.
The main reason why couples lose money when they divorce is that either one or both of the partners will lose their house and have to find somewhere else to live, incurring moving costs, time off work and the deprecation of the house price, should they have to make a quick sale.
Other reasons why they could lose money may be that one or both of the partners will lose their house and have to find somewhere else to live, incurring moving costs, time off work and the potential deprecation of the house price, should they have to make a quick sale.
Throw legal fees and other hidden costs into the mix, and divorce can become a very expensive business, which is why citizens of Coventry are apparently opting to stay together, despite perhaps preferring to be apart.
This is obviously a fairly dire situation to be in; if you are in a relationship that you desperately want to get out of, then you should not let your financial situation stand in the way of that, after all couples can get married on the cheap, why shouldn’t they be able to split up just as cost effectively?!
By comparing the market of Coventry divorce lawyers, you can determine who can give you the best deal on a quick and ‘cheap-as-possible’ divorce; however, one should never sacrifice quality legal advice for cost effectiveness. You will achieve the best outcome for your needs and not end up staying in a relationship in order to save money, by striking the correct balance between price and quality.
No one deserves to stay in a relationship that they don’t want to be in simply for financial reasons; a Coventry divorce lawyer today can offer consultations if you feel that you need legal advice on the best way to end your marriage.
