The best advice I have for other parents going through a divorce is that the kids need to know that both of their parents are good people. It’s easy to set the example of kindness and love and respect when the things are good. So if you can do that when things are hard, and wholeheartedly support their relationship with the other parent–you’re showing them a certain kind of resiliency.

You know, that’s the only good thing about divorce; you get to sleep with your mother.

Marriage is grand. Divorce is about twenty grand.

So many persons think divorce a panacea for every ill, who find out, when they try it, that the remedy is worse than the disease.

Love, the quest; marriage, the conquest; divorce, the inquest.

A 99-year-old man is filing for divorce from his 96-year-old wife, making them the world’s oldest divorced couple. It’s got to be weird when a divorce lawyer is fighting for your kids to get custody of you.

Divorce is probably of nearly the same date as marriage. I believe, however, that marriage is some weeks the more ancient.

I’ve never been married, but I tell people I’m divorced so they won’t think something’s wrong with me.

I don’t think I’ll get married again; I’ll just find a woman I don’t like and give her a house

Gone is the idea that you know where you are headed, that you know who your friends are, that you know who you are. To get divorced is to feel entirely lost on streets that you could once navigate with your eyes closed. The past feels cut off, across a divide, barely visible behind you.

Divorce is the price people pay for playing with matches.

Marriage is the chief cause of divorce.

No matter how you slice it, divorce is expensive and time-consuming. The most important variable is how well you and your spouse are able to put aside your anger and grief and cooperate on the big issues of money and children. The better you are at working together to make decisions for your changing family structure, the better for your bank account and for your chances of emerging from the divorce with a decent relationship with your ex.

Many divorces are not really the result of irreparable injury but involve, instead, a desire on the part of the man or woman to shatter the setup, start out from scratch alone, and make life work for them all over again. They want the risk of disaster, want to touch bottom, see where bottom is, and, coming up, to breathe the air with relief and relish again.

Asking the legal system to resolve divorce is like asking a boxing coach to be our marriage counselor.

I’ve been through divorce and will always be a “divorced kid”…. For me, my parent’s divorce was hard at first, but I overcame my sadness and my fears about it. I know that my parents are happier apart. And I’m happy with the way things are, too…. Divorce can sometimes be for the better. You may end up with happier parents, and you will definitely learn a lot about yourself! And that’s the whole point of growing up. So if you think about it, there are reasons to be happy about this experience, if you can learn and grow from it.

The thing that experts agree on is that although divorce is difficult and stressful for kids no matter what, the real harm to kids comes from being subjected to conflict between parents. The longer that lasts, and the more severe it is, the worse it is for your children. If you truly want to shield your children from the pain of divorce, recognize that the more you take the high road with your spouse, the better job you’ll do.

Grown-ups are worried that they’re going to ruin their children’s lives, but divorce is just a life experience and you learn from it.

Divorce is a failed challenge, which leads to a broken life. It is a socially transmittable disease that can transfer from one generation to another, and it is spreading fast.

Divorce is one of the most stressful life events anyone goes through. Only the loss of a loved one and moving are even in its class, difficulty-wise–and divorcing generally involves both of those as well. Even when you are the one initiating the divorce, the enormous changes that result are bound to throw you off and leave you feeling, at the very least, a bit lost.
