Coming to the realization that your marriage is heading for divorce is never easy, but there are ways for soon-to-be divorced couples to approach their divorce in a more positive way. Whatever the reason or event that led to the divorce, should be addressed, but both couples need to realize that there were probably many signs that their marriage was heading down the wrong path, long before divorce was brought up.
Divorce has changed in the last five years mainly because of the economy. Many couples are separated but have to live together because they can't afford to live apart. More couples are also using mediators to facilitate the divorce instead of taking their grievances to court, which ends up costing them a lot of money. Because of this, many divorces are becoming less confrontational.
