Is divorce now worth celebrating?

 Posted on January 21, 2013 in Divorce

As society's outlook on divorce has been gradually shifting, and divorce is not such a taboo subject anymore, new divorce phenomena are surfacing. Everyone has heard a number of colorful stories about divorce, but The New York Times did a story on a phenomenon that is not yet so widely known. This phenomenon is a shower, not a bridal one, but a divorce shower. This tradition-defying party was organized by a group of friends for Mr. Tom Carling, and Carling said he and his friends called it an unbridled shower. “Brides get stuff for the house. Well, I got a party to replace the stuff that my ex had taken from the house,” Carling commented on his shower. Carling explained in the story that some of the possessions he lost during his divorce were really important to him, because they were things he had been using for years, so getting replacements from close friends really provided him with a feeling that he would be alright after all. According to the story, parties like the one arranged for Carling are not unusual in certain social circles, but for most people, this might not yet be a point of interest. Divorce is a complicated issue, and there is a wide range of problems people need to solve when facing a future divorce, going through one or even recovering from one. For the majority of people, the parties will have to wait. Friends can help you with some aspects of divorce, but it is crucial to get the help of an experienced divorce attorney.
