Divorce
Divorce is common in the United States and is never pleasant. Each state has a different law regarding how property is divided and how financial obligations to children are met. Since divorce is now common, few people are ashamed of it or try to hide it. Dating again after divorce is not difficult, since so many potential partners are themselves divorced. Since divorce is such a complicated matter, you should almost always consult a lawyer, even if the couple is splitting on an amicable basis.
