Legally Easy

It's a fact of life that not all marriages succeed. Now, the economic downturn is putting even more stress on families that are splitting up. While celebrity divorces like Mel Gibson's attract lots of media attention, for most couples, divorce is an expense that they just can't afford, but have to deal with in order to move on with their lives.

The New York times is reporting several commentaries in its series, "Husbands, Wives and Hard Times." As Paul Amato, a professor of sociology and demography writes in the series, "research...consistently shows that economic hardship undermines marital quality and stability...Since the middle of the 20th century, declines in the economy have been linked with increases in divorce rates."

Most states now offer a no fault divorce. So, couples who can amicably work out property distribution and child custody issues can preserve family and personal resources while moving on.
