Studies by the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers report that although money is not always the sole or primary cause for divorce, it is often a significant factor. Poor communication and dishonesty can also contribute to the financial problems of a couple. If your financial problems have brought you to the brink of divorce, your Cook County divorce attorney can help you consider your legal options.
When one spouse shows a lack of concern for the needs or wishes of the other, any number of problems can arise. Refusing to share home responsibilities or help care for the children, careless spending and offensive habits are all examples of a lack of consideration.
Allowing family members to interfere in a marriage is another lack of consideration. The family members of a spouse may try to influence anything from home improvement to child-rearing and cause friction. If longstanding friction has caused your marriage to breakdown irretrievably, your Cook County divorce attorney can help you understand your options.
When one spouse’s priorities change, it frequently leads to divorce. When one spouse’s work, friends or hobbies detract from family concerns and activities, it can place a burden on the other spouse, and cause resentment and loneliness.

To file for divorce on grounds of infidelity fault, a spouse must obtain clear proof that such infidelity has taken place.
