We're tackling one of the most challenging and emotionally charged questions many of our clients face: How do you know when it's time to divorce?

No marriage is 100% happy all the time. Like any relationship, it’s filled with both good times and hardship. But for some, the challenges become chronic and overwhelming, leaving them wondering if ending the marriage is the right choice. Deciding to divorce is never easy and it’s rarely straightforward.  As actress Kate Hudson said, “The process of discovering with somebody that you love that you don’t work is so painful.”

In this week's episode, we'll explore the signs that indicate it might be time to part ways, the importance of weighing both emotional and practical factors, and the tools and strategies you and your clients can use to arrive at a decision that’s right for them.  And we’ll talk about the importance of preparing for the night you take dinner out of the oven - a favorite story that Debra likes to share.

When it comes to making this big decision, we often find that clients already know that ending the marriage is inevitable, they just have some fears that we called “The Big Buts” in episode #75. They worry about finances, their kids, and conflict. They don’t know where to start and they truly don’t understand the process, their options, and the amount of control they have over the cost, the amount of conflict, and the outcome.

That’s why we encourage you to partner with your client to develop an exit strategy. This means helping them gather the information they need and develop action plans to remove the fear and uncertainty around when and how to divorce. Fear is not only the obstacle that keeps individuals stuck in unhealthy, unhappy marriages unable to make decisions or take action, but it’s also the number 1 driver of cost and conflict in divorce.
