On Christmas Eve of 2007, James J. Gross, of the Maryland Divorce Legal Crier, posted a funny blog which has been reproduced in various forms on blogs nationwide. It is called the "The Twelve Days of Christmas Divorce"
On the twelfth day of Christmas,My true love sent to me
Twelve demands for relief,
Eleven prayers for property,
Ten thousand for alimony,
Nine hundred for child support,
Eight pages of interrogatories,
Seven requests for documents,
Six requests for admissions,
Five thousand for attorneys,
Four requests to enjoin,
Three pre-trial motions,
Two process servers,
And a complaint for a final divorce!"
During these tough economic times, we know that many persons in Jacksonville and throughout Northeast Florida are having their longstanding fueds with spouses made worse because of money disputes. Problems with money and with children are consistently the two most popular reasons persons get divorced, followed closely by a spouse having an affair. Finacial hardships make it hard to have a divorce but the stress to the persons in the marriage may not be worth trying to save the money from getting a divorce as so as possible and starting your new life for your sake and often for the sake of your children.
While we hope the the economy is going to get better soon, many persons are being laid off and experts say that it will be 2010 or later before the economy improves.
