-- Ashley Madision an online dating service that is similar to popular dating sites like Eharmony.com or Match.com, but is geared toward people seeking extramarital affairs, with other married individuals or single people has been in the news a lot lately due to its recent hacking of its website. 37 million email addresses and data have been released to the public and there has been a huge uproar regarding the release of this data as public outcry and media outlets continue to assume that divorce lawyers are about to receive a ton of business due to the hacking of this website.
Texas divorce lawyer Dean Zand of the Zand Law Firm, who mainly represents clients in Fort Bend County and Harris County thinks “it can be a little irresponsible to just assume that everyone on this site should get a divorce.” Divorce attorney Zand stated, “That as bad as that might sound, deciding to divorce is a decision that affects more than just the couple divorcing. It changes the dynamic of many peoples’ lives including friends, relatives, members of organizations they are a part of, and most importantly – the kids.”
It is estimated that roughly 30% to 60% of all married individuals (in the United States) will engage in infidelity at some point during their marriage (see Buss & Shackelford for review of this research). But despite these numbers of infidelity, a study in the NY TImes has clearly shown that divorces have been on the decline in the US for a while now. Factors such as family, monetary obligations, love, and forgiveness are some reasons why the rate is declining.
Attorney Zand believes that it is vital to consider a few things before going through with a divorce.
Make sure every possible option has been explored that might heal the marriage. “There are many options available to couples that provide opportunities to work through the rough patches. Make sure that every option available has been used before considering a divorce, “said Zand.
Attorney Zand also stated that, “there is no one way to obtain a divorce. Divorces come in all shapes and sizes and it’s important to understand the differences. Talking to good lawyer can really help understand the divorce process. An experienced divorce lawyer could be the difference between winning and losing, so contact a divorce lawyer immediately.”
In the end, divorces shouldn’t be taken lightly no matter what the situation. For more information regarding getting a divorce please visit attorney Zand’s website www.zandlawfirm.com.
