Contempt may precede a divorce

On Behalf of | Jan 29, 2018 | Divorce

There are a few key communication patterns that may determine if a Connecticut couple is likely to get a divorce. However, showing contempt toward a spouse may be the most likely indicator that a marriage is not going to work out. Those who show contempt toward a partner may be saying that they don’t respect them or think highly of them.

Actions that display contempt for another person include mocking, teasing or name-calling. When a person doesn’t have respect for his or her partner, it may be difficult to strengthen a marital bond. At some point, an individual may begin to tune a spouse out, which may make it harder to communicate. Unless a couple learns how to change the way that they communicate, it may be difficult to save the marriage and avoid a divorce.

However, those who do learn how to change their ways may be able to save their marriage. In some cases, couples can learn to bond again over shared memories of happier times that they had together. This may help them to remember why they fell in love and got married in the first place. Over time, they may learn to approach their relationship as a team as opposed to two individuals who happen to be together.

In some cases, a marriage may be too far gone to be saved. If an individual is thinking about getting a divorce, it may be worthwhile to talk to an attorney prior to doing so. This may make it possible to learn about how property is divided as well as learn more about whether a prenuptial agreement may be seen as valid. Parents may also be able to have questions related to child support and child custody answered as well.
