Divorce: The difficult decision to end a marriage
Episode description
When people enter the union of marriage, they do so with thoughts that it will be forever. Sometimes, that’s not how it works out. Thinking about divorce is difficult and initiating the process can be even harder.
Tennessee has one of the highest divorce rates in the country. According to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, there were 3.2 divorces per 1,000 Tennesseans in 2020.
Today, we’ll talk with people who have gone through divorce and to family lawyers about how to best navigate what can be a complicated path.
