Happiness after divorce is still possible

sunshine — Mon, 03 May 2010 10:05:00 +0000

Divorce is a tough, emotional roller coaster and one that many people think they will never recover from. However, divorce changes people, and sometimes it can be for the best. The Gazette has more:

I am not convinced that we ever recover from being divorced, those of
us who are.

We get on with our lives, but we continue to feel
guilty or betrayed, conflicted or wishful or all of the above – a slew
of emotions we seldom think about and speak of even less.

Divorce
changes us, if for no reason other than it is irrefutable, in-your-face
evidence that we have failed at something - however it happened and as
convinced as we might be that it was for the best.

As Sarah
Hampson observes in her intelligent, thoughtful and finely written
meditation on midlife after divorce, it invites us to take a hard look
at who we are.

“Divorce forces a rethinking of the myths, the
expectations, that brought us to the crisis point,” she writes in
Happily Ever After Marriage (Alfred A. Knopf Canada, $32). “It clears

sunshine — Sun, 02 May 2010 13:36:00 +0000

Tesla Motors is planning on offering stock in their new all-electric sedal soon which is a big deal for the Silicon Valley business. However, the CEO’s upcoming divorce trial could have serious ramifications for the company.

The personal life of Tesla Motors chief executive Elon Musk might
muddy the waters for his company’s plans to go public.
In Silicon Valley, business can be personal. Tech companies preparing
to go public routinely note how dependent they are on the services of
their top executives. High-profile electric automaker Tesla Motors is planning an

Dividing properties in a divorce

sunshine — Sun, 02 May 2010 09:30:00 +0000

There are certain issues of divorce that need to be thought of in a business-like manner, such as how to divide up physical assets. Many people in divorces don’t realize that even if they sign over their half of a property in a settlement, their name will still be on the mortgage and they will still be liable for payment on the property. Other questions that need to be addressed include repairs to be done, who will live in the properties and for how long, etc. The Washington Post has more:

While divorce can be an emotional roller coaster, the one area that
needs reasoned, dispassionate, businesslike treatment is what to do with
the real property assets of the divorcing duo.

The same principles apply whether the property in question is a modest
condominium serving as the couple’s principal residence or a large
portfolio including vacation and investment properties. The most
important thing to remember: Never sign over your ownership interest in
any real estate until your obligation to pay the outstanding loans
secured by that real estate have been paid off or otherwise accounted
for in the property settlement agreement.

Too often, one spouse agrees continue reading

It is not always clear why people divorce

sunshine — Sat, 01 May 2010 09:21:00 +0000

When you ask some people why they divorced, it is for obvious reasons such as infidelity. However, many times it is not clear what the reasons for divorce are and couples cannot actually pinpoint the moment they knew the marriage wouldn’t work. The Vancouver Sun has more:

I need to give myself a divorce for a present this year. It was the voice
of treason talking to me again as I approached my fortieth birthday,
about 15 years into our marriage. I had heard it many times in my head.
Unprompted, it would speak up, sometimes even with humour. It was truth
insisting on itself, but even so, it can be hard to take seriously. It
is asking you to drop a nuclear bomb on your life.

People often
wonder when you know. They ask about the moment it was clear that the
marriage wasn’t going to work. And for some, of course, it is very continue reading
