New York, NY (News)-The shocking separation announcement made by Al and Tipper Gore after 40-years of marriage, has left many friends, fans, and family members in disbelief. But marriage experts suggested the Gores are a part of a growing phenomenon, in which couples who have invested 20-40 years together, are deciding to spend the rest of their “golden years” apart, as reported by CNN.

Marriage experts reported “Break-ups among long-term married couples-who have spend 30, 40 or more years together-is an uncommon phenomenon compared to the skyrocketing divorce rates among naive newlyweds or parents overwhelmed with children. But the number of long-term relationships headed towards separation-like the Gores-is becoming more frequent with longer life spans and the growing acceptability of divorce.”

Al and Tipper Gore announced their decision to separate through an email to friends, which stated they have reached “a mutual and mutually supportive decision that we have made together following a process of long and careful consideration.”

“People think you only get closer over time, but that’s not necessarily true,” says Pepper Schwartz, professor of sociology at the University of Washington. Schwartz believes that because of the advancement of science and medicine, we are able to live longer, giving people extra years to live, which has led some married couples to divorce. “Previously, older couples married for decades usually stayed together — not wanting to go through the legal and emotional turmoil so late in life. But now, a longer life span means the possibility of finding a new relationship or enjoying the ‘golden years’ without the stress of fighting with a spouse,” Schwartz said.

When the kids leave home, the empty nesters no longer have children holding their marriage together, which has been a trigger for divorce among many long-term couples. Even a major life change, like a career can cause a marriage to dissolve. But divorces among long-term marriages, are a “tragically a different kind of divorce,” says marriage experts. “Cold divorces,” characterized by disengagement, distance and isolation, and a product of gradual buildup is a term used to describe divorces of long-term married couples. Divorce is often brought on by problems building to the point where no one cares, and realizes that the “good is not outweighing the bad,” says marriage experts.

New York, NY (News)-Reality TV star, and former girlfriend to Hugh Hefner, Kendra Wilkinson, and her NFL husband, Hank Baskett, are reportedly on the rocks following the surfacing of a sex tape, or sex tapes, featuring the Playboy model. Baskett has apparently had enough after discovering that a sex tape, featuring his wife with multiple partners, exists and is about to be released for the world to see, as reported by the Associated Content.

Kendra and Hank, who were married over a year ago and have a five-month-old baby together, may be reaching the end of their seemingly “happy” marriage. Inside sources claim that Baskett is “humiliated and furious” about the sex tapes, including the fact that Kendra previously tried to sell the tapes.

Although Kendra is trying to prevent Vivid Video from releasing the tapes, Hank cannot get over her involvement in the videos. While there has been no official announcement of an upcoming split or divorce, it is expected to be publicly announced in the upcoming days or weeks.

With so much of their personal lives out there for the world to see, it would be wise for Hank and Kendra to seek out divorce mediation to protect their young son in the event that they decide to divorce. Because Kendra and Hank are celebrities, it is likely the media storm following the announcement of a divorce will be intense, adding un-needed stress and scrutiny to the troubled couple. Divorce mediation provides a way to reach a settlement, custody agreement and other arrangements behind closed doors without it becoming public knowledge. Only when the settlements are reached will the divorce mediator, who is also an attorney, file the paperwork, making the split public knowledge. Kendra and Hank wont have to worry about making those hard decisions with the scrutiny of the media at their doors. By the time the media has found out about the divorce, all the decisions will have been made.

YS Mediation attorneys offers an economical and stress-free approach to dissolving a marriage. The divorce mediators at New York-based YS Mediation are here to help during this difficult period in your life. If you or someone you know is separating or divorcing contact YS Mediation for a private and confidential consultation.

New York, NY-The immense amount of stress and pain from a broken heart has been shown to cause lasting effects among people who have divorced or been widowed. A recent study revealed that the trauma of a spilt can affect mental and physical health that remarriage may not be able to fix, as reported by CNN.

The study, published in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior, found that divorced or widowed people have a 20 percent greater chance of developing chronic conditions like heart disease, diabetes or cancer than people who are married. In addition, they also have a 23 percent increase in mobility limitations, like trouble climbing stairs or walking a block.

The study looked at the marital history and health indicators of 8,652 middle-aged people, which determined “divorced people have more chronic conditions, more mobility limitations, rate their health as poorer than people similar to them in age, race, gender, and education who’ve been married once and are still married.”

Scientists determined the likely reason for this is because “marriage has protective heath benefits by providing financial, social and emotional stability,” which are lost when a loved one dies or a divorce takes place. Researchers also say that because of the tremendous amount of stress a person goes through leading up to divorce, and stress during the often-lengthy divorce proceedings, lasting negative health affects can occur. Some even say a broken heart can actually kill you, because of the deep depression some people slip into.

Losing a loved one or going through a divorce is never something that is easily done. But should your marriage reach its breaking point, New York-based YS Mediation is here to help you end your marriage in the most stress-free and amicable way possible. YS Mediation divorce mediators and conflict resolution specialists, will sit down with you and your spouse to come to a divorce and custody settlement; no need to hire separate lawyers.

New York, NY (News)-Rumors have been swirling that the Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren divorce is “100 percent happening” for sometime now. Although a divorce may be imminent, the couple has yet to file, leading many to speculate that they are hashing out a divorce settlement behind closed doors through divorce mediation. YS Mediation, New York’s leading divorce mediation and conflict resolution specialist explains why meditation is the best for their family, especially for their children.

US Magazine reported “Elin and her mom met with a lawyer before they went to Sweden.” Elin and her two kids Sam, 2, and Charlie, 14 months, recently took a trip to Stockholm, where Elin’s family lives, without Tiger. Sources close to the couple say, “It’s going to take a long time to go through [the divorce]. [But] she will go through with it. She is all about being a mom. She will do it slowly and carefully.” According to an insider, there has been “nonstop construction” at the $3 million home in Vaxholm, Sweden that Elin purchased in December, leaving many wondering if she plans on moving back to her native home following the divorce proceedings.

Although sources and insiders have been buzzing that an official divorce announcement is imminent, could that be because a settlement has been reached through mediation and they’re finally ready to file? It is possible Tiger and Elin have opted for divorce mediation to keep they’re already public life, a little more private. The Woods’ may have been meeting with a divorce mediator, behind closed doors to reach a settlement of assets and a custody agreement regarding their children. This would keep the already disheveled couple from further public embarrassment and attention, thus protecting their two young children. The fact that the Woods’ have been through so much, the idea of trying to keep their divorce private through mediation is not totally out of the question.

New York based YS Mediation offers divorce mediation and conflict resolution services to couples who are seeking an end to their marriage. Only when a settlement is reached will the mediator, who is also an attorney, file the divorce in court for a judge to sign, making the split public knowledge. Contact YS Mediation for a private consultation and take the first step into freedom from a typical, high cost divorce.

Hollywood, CA (Manhattan divorce attorney news)—With cameras constantly rolling, the taping of a reality TV show, which captures every moment of your life, can certainly put strain on any marriage. Heated arguments and fights happened to be one of the moments caught on film while taping the fifth season of “Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood.” The fights have recently been circulating through Celebrity tabloids, creating a buzz around Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott’s so called “crumbling” marriage, as reported by MSNBC.

Manhattan, New York divorce mediator, YS Mediation (Manhattan divorce attorney)reports although the couple has denied divorce rumors, claiming they are “committed to each other;” they could be secretly hashing out a divorce settlement behind closed doors through a mediation.

Tori, the former “Beverly 90210” star and daughter of late TV mogul Aaron Spelling, met Dean in 2005 while filming the movie “Mind over Murder.” But despite being married at the time to their respected spouses, they fell madly in love with one another. After each of their divorces was finalized, they tied the knot to celebrate their love.  While still in wedding bliss, the newly married couple began filming a series of realty television shows titled “Tori & Dean: Inn Love” and “Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood,” where they laid everything out on the table for cameras to capture. Even both of their children’s births, Liam, 3, and daughter Stella, 22 months, were filmed for the world to see.

While filming the fifth season of their TV reality series, the couple is seen having heated arguments and appears to be reaching the end of their ropes with one another. In one clip, Spelling says to Dean, “It’s like you got more and more unhappy and angry. I just want the old Dean back. I really do. I miss you so much.” But Tori refutes the claims that they are headed for divorce, stating, “We’re committed to each other, we’re committed to this family. But you know, we work on things just like everyone else.”

Although the reality TV couple denies the claims that they are headed to divorce court, they could be seeking divorce meditation behind closed doors.
