FAMILY LAWYER COMMENTS ON THE “THREE-YEAR DITCH”.
Commenting on NetMums www.netmums.com
study into early marriage failures, family lawyer Kim Aucott, of George Davies
Solicitors LLP www.georgedavies.co.uk,
said:
“Marriage sustainability moves with the times. Having
children used to be a sign that couples were ready to settle, the environment
around them was conducive to that, and that they’d done their sums and worked
out that with some economies they could cope with the cost of kids.
“But the fact is that the environment is choppy, the
financial sums don’t add up, and far from settling things down, the arrival of
a baby in the 21st century can heap stress upon stress for people
enduring tough times.
“In our recent experience,
the average length of a relationship before it ends in divorce is more like
five or six years, with most of the couples whose marriages break down likely
to have lived together for two or three years beforehand.
“Bringing up a child can be physically and emotionally
draining in the UK , and with
21st century work demands in what is acknowledged to be the most
stressful working environment in Europe , this
can often result in couples struggling to spend quality time with each other –
so the results of this study are not surprising.”
