- What's the number one thing you've seen

that causes divorce?

- I would say failure to communicate effectively

is a big one, but technically,

we generally see financial issues

causing divorce more than anything else.

One thing I'd recommend for couples before they get married,

is to do some premarital counseling.

A lengthy process generally decreases divorce.

But also, I think the biggest thing as well is expectations.

Everyone, whenever they get married,

expects the other person to fulfill them perfectly,

and nobody can ever do that.

And what I'd recommend for people considering divorce,

if the marriage is not completely broken down,

I think there's some really good counselors

here in Birmingham, they might want to try

going to counseling, working on some communication skills.

But, most of the time, getting divorced

will not make your life appreciably better,

it usually makes it worse.

So I always say, if there's any way to avoid divorce, do it.

But if you can't, then I recommend to mediate divorce,

make it as least unpleasant as it can be.

So, that's the reason we see a lot of divorces.

And even though we do divorces,

I always try to get people to consider the other options,

which is, try to reconcile.

If that's not possible, let's at least try to avoid

contested divorces if that's an option.
