Divorce is not fun. There is nothing more damaging to a person than breaking on of the most serious and weighty promises that you can make to another human being. When you sit upon that alter and make a solemn promise between you and your spouse that you will be with each other in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer, till death do you part you are not just saying fancy words - you are making a life promise to a person that you have every intention of keeping in the moment.

But when we break promises it is often the case that lawyers need to be involved, and when it involves marriage you will generally need a divorce attorney, and when it involves marriage in America's Finest city you will probably need to get a San Diego divorce lawyer.

These legal professionals are there to make the break up your marriage and the nulling of your promise to your spouse as efficient and clean as possible. They may also fight for your child custody rights or to some form of monetary support if you become the primary care giver of the children. They may also help settle opposing claims on the properties and assets acquired during the marriage.

In sum, a San Diego divocre lawyer will help you get divorced.

This is actually a much more difficult question to answer than many people realize. I personally am of the opinion that being married is a life-time deal. You are married to your spouse until one of you dies. Period. There is no other way to look at it. Even if you become legally divorced to your spouse you are still bound to them and still their spouse, but you are protecting yourself from some evil that they are involved in.

The evil may be that your spouse physically hurts you. A husband should never hit his wife and a wife should never hit their husband. If this type of activity occurs then the spouse who is being beaten should be able to protect themselves through divorce. The offender needs to get their act together before the marriage can be reconciled, but the marriage should always be reconciled.

Another situation where divorce is certainly wise is when one spouse is being unfaithful to the other. For the sake of protection, both emotional and spiritual and physical, the spouse who is being cheated upon needs to severe the relationship until the cheater is at a spot where the relationship can be restored. Again, the marriage should be sought to be brought into reconciliation.

Many people who live in San Diego do not necessarily hold this same view as I do. They may think that any old reason is a good one for ending a marriage. Don't like your husband's hair? Call up your local San Diego divorce attorney to end the relationship. Think that your wife's body has lost some of its luster after 3 kids and 25 years of marriage? Flip through the local Yellow Pages and phone a San Diego divorce lawyer.

To me, these reasons are just plain stupid and should not ever be considered as a real reason to get a divorce - ever.

Children also can suffer terribly in the case of a divorce. I have grown up with many friends who have had to go through seeing their parents get divorced in San Diego and I must say that I do not wish that experience on anyone. They have been severely and adversely affected by their parents actions and had no way of resolving the issue within themselves until much later in life. In fact, many of them are still dealing with the fact that their parents split up with each other well into their adult life.

Making sure that the needs of the children are taken care of is a halmark of a thoughtful and wise San Diego divorce lawyer. If they do not have some level of concern for the welfare of the children from the marriage than I would recommend that you find a new attorney - no matter how effective they have been at winning cases or earning the spouse hefty child support monies. You don't want someone who will damage your child's psyche by playing hardball with your children. It just isn't worth it.

Let me make this very clear - I am not a San Diego divorce lawyer. I am not a legal professional. All the content found in this post is simply my opinion about divorce in San Diego county and nothing more. If you want to talk to a legal professional about your own divorce I recommend that you contact one directly on the phone or on the Internet.
