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.

The divorce attorneys at YS Mediation have a positive track record of helping couples reach a divorce settlement when the fire in their relationship has burnt out. Sometimes, time will only make the cracks in a relationship become larger, and couples of several decades realize they just don’t have anything in common anymore. Divorce mediation offers a way for couples to amicably spilt after living many years together, without enduring the ugly court battles that are often associated with divorce.

In efforts to inform feuding couples of the effects a bystanding child experiences in witnessing fights, the Raleigh family law attorneys of Gailor, Wallis and Hunt present the findings of a study aimed at examining children’s responses to feuding parents.

North Carolina divorce lawyers report:

Science Daily reported on a 2008 study conducted by researchers at the University of Rochester, Syracuse University and the University of Notre Dame that charted how children’s concerns over their parents’ relationship affected their abilities to pay attention in school. The study, “Children’s Insecure Representations of the Interparental Relationship and their School Adjustment: The Mediating Role of Attention Difficulties,” examined 216 predominantly white 6-year-olds, their parents and their teachers over a three-year period.

Teachers reported annually on the children’s ability to participate in class activities, get along with others and acclimate within the school setting in general. Teachers specifically were told to determine whether the children were cooperative with peers, followed directions, used classroom materials responsibly and acted in an overall appropriate manner.

According to reports, children who were concerned about their parents displayed more attention problems a year after the onset of stress was reported. These attention difficulties came hand-in-hand with teacher reports of adjustment issues in school.  Many cases found that children’s negative thoughts were based on witnessing actual relationship problems between parents.

Raleigh divorce lawyers of Gailor, Wallis and Hunt further report that other studies on the effects of feuding spouses on children found that the stress hormone cortisol elevated in all situations of strife, whether the negativity was heard over the phone or within the home. These realizations bring to light the importance of protecting children from feuding families and divorce. Sheltering a child from the negativity of spousal fighting is not only important for the child’s mental health, it is also important for the child’s educational and social wellbeing. Whether the fight is in the kitchen, over the phone or in the courtroom, the child is affected in a negative manner.

A survey conducted by the Pew Research Center revealed that while the public still strongly believes the traditional 2-parent home is the best scenario for raising children, a divorce is the lesser of two evils when it comes to unhappy marriages. When given a scenario of very unhappily married parents, and then asked whether the children would better benefit from the parents remaining married or divorcing, 67 percent of adults surveyed stated a divorce would be better. Only 19 percent thought it a good idea to remain married.

While it is obvious to all Americans that the divorce rate is rising, what is not always obvious is the fact that a softer approach to separation could prove beneficial to all members of the family. As a parent would naturally want to shield a child from the backlash of in-home fighting, the parent should also realize in-court battles can prove detrimental to the child. When divorces go to court, the battle is not always friendly and tensions inevitably mount. Approaching a separation with mediation is a private way to handle your affairs.

Hiring family law attorneys to conduct mediation gives parents the opportunity to handle separation issues with referee-type counselors and attorneys, they handle it without the hassle of dragging children into court , forcing them to watch a he-said, she-said battle. Keeping children sheltered from the unnecessary stress of watching parents battle, whether in the home or in court, saves them from undue stress. Shielding children from excess levels of stress proves beneficial in the long run. It helps them deal with their every day lives at school and with surrounding peers. If you could prevent your child from experiencing undue stress, problems with concentration and difficulties with peer relationships, wouldn’t you do it?

North Carolina divorce lawyers Gailor, Wallis and Hunt, have dedicated their lives to helping men and women work through the divorce process, and are especially knowledgeable and ready to help in all areas of mediation. Divorce lawyers of Gailor, Wallis and Hunt have used their 80 plus combined years of family law litigation experience and their collaborative skills to help couples dissolve their marriages in as non adversarial a manner as possible so that they can move on with their lives.

North Carolina family lawyers of Gailor, Wallis and Hunt present:

Saying thank you may not just be a useful sign of courtesy to teach your children, it may actually positively affect every relationship you have.

North Carolina divorce attorneys of Gailor, Wallis and Hunt reveal a recent study that has found that saying “thank you” to your partner may improve your overall attitude when it comes to your relationship. The simple but often overlooked act of saying words of gratitude not only broadcasts feelings of appreciation towards the person receiving them, but echoes positivity within the person stating them.

Simply stated, by saying you are grateful, you can actually become grateful.

A recent study conducted by Florida State University research associate Nathaniel Lambert found that expressing gratitude boosts a deeper sense of commitment and responsibility, or communal strength, within a relationship. Lambert explains the theory as, “when you express gratitude to someone, you are focusing on the good things that person has done for you…It makes you see them in a more positive light and helps you focus in on their good traits.”

Lambert and several colleagues used three different scenarios to test whether the act of expressing thankfulness was linked to increased feelings of communal strength.

In one study group, 137 college students were surveyed regarding how often they thanked a friend or partner. The results indicated that gratitude was positively linked with the individual’s perception of communal strength.

The students were also interviewed six weeks later, in attempts to see if they experienced an increase in the quality of their relationship since they had become aware of the correlation between verbalizing gratitude and feelings of communal strength. Researchers found the students did report feeling more positive about their relationships.

Lastly, a group of study participants were instructed to go out of their way to express their gratitude to their partners in attempts to discover whether the words would lead to improved feelings towards the relationship. In order to compare the results, the researchers had other volunteers think grateful thoughts, without verbalizing them. A third group in the study was told to focus on positive memories only.

At the end of the trial, all three groups were interviewed on their attitudes towards their relationship. Those who frequently verbalized or transcribed their gratitude saw their relationship as more mutual and cooperative as a result. Those who merely thought about their gratitude did not experience an improvement in attitude.

Scientists conclude that saying “thank you” sends a message to the receiver and the sender at the same time. And not only does the action itself produce an immediate positive effect; expressing gratitude towards someone will often result in the receiver reciprocating the action with similar thoughts.

For example, if one spouse thanks the other for a great dinner, the other will most likely respond with a thank you for the desert.

Lambert described this phenomenon of the effects of expressions of gratitude on relationships by stating, “It can potentially change the trajectory from a negative focus to more of a positive outlook of the relationship.”

And, if these constant feelings of appreciation turn into a marriage proposal, the family law office of Gailor, Wallis & Hunt can help you prepare your pre-marital agreement so that in the case of a divorce, your assets will be protected and the dissolution of marriage, should it occur, can be as non-adversarial as possible.

The highly respected attorneys of Gailor, Wallis and Hunt have dedicated their lives to helping couples plan for, and preserve their marriage and family, but are also dedicated to assisting them obtain a fair and equitable divorce when that is the only alternative. GWH offers knowledge, skill and experience in the many areas of family law that is second to none.

When starting the process of determining child custody, the first issue is whether North Carolina has jurisdiction to determine the custodial rights of the parents.

Under North Carolina’s Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act, (UCCJA) the court has jurisdiction to make an initial child custody determination if one or more of the following qualifications are met:

1. North Carolina is the home state of the child on the date of the commencement of the proceeding or was the home state of the child within six months prior to the commencement of the proceeding and the child is absent from the state but a parent or person acting as a parent continues to reside in the state
2. A court of another state does not have jurisdiction under No. 1 above or a court of the home state of the child has declined to exercise jurisdiction on the grounds that North Carolina is a more appropriate forum and:
   1. The child and the child’s parents have a significant connection with North Carolina other than mere physical presence; and
   2. substantial evidence is available in North Carolina concerning the child’s care, protection, training and personal relationships.
3. All states having jurisdiction under No.’s 1 and 2 above have declined to exercise jurisdiction on the ground that North Carolina is the more appropriate forum to determine custody of the child; or
4. No other court of any state would have jurisdiction under the criteria set forth in No’s 1, 2 or 3 above.

In cases where a child is abused or threatened with abuse, a North Carolina court can exercise temporary emergency jurisdiction if the child is present in the state and the child has been abandoned or it is necessary in an emergency to protect the child because the child, a sibling or parent of the child is subjected to or threatened  with mistreatment or abuse.

Once jurisdiction has been established to make an initial child custody determination, North Carolina law requires that if the issue of custody of a child is contested, the parents are required to appear for mediation of the dispute before the matter can be set for trial There are only a few exceptions to the mandatory mediation which requires a showing of good cause:

• If allegations of abuse or neglect of the child arise;
• If  there are allegations of alcoholism, drug abuse or domestic violence between the parents;
• If allegations of severe psychological, psychiatric or emotional problems are present;
• If the judge finds that mediation would result in “undue hardship” for a parent; or
• If either parent lives more than 50 miles from the courthouse.

If no agreement is reached in mediation, or mediation is not an option in the child custody case, the issue of custody will be resolved by a judge whose decision will be based on the best interest of the child.

In making a custody decision, a judge will consider each parent’s ability to provide the child with a safe, nurturing environment; the child’s emotional attachment to each parent’s household; the physical and mental health of parents and child; and where the child is currently residing.

There is no presumption between the mother and father regarding which parent should have custody, although a natural parent will be presumed to be the appropriate custodian as opposed to a third party. This presumption is, however, rebuttable and, if the best interest of the child require it, the judge may award custody to a third party.

Gailor, Wallis & Hunt represents both mothers and fathers. The firm’s experienced attorneys can help with any custody dispute and work to ensure that the best interest of the child or children is served. GWH provides both services when it comes to child custody: mediation and litigation.

The North Carolina Family law firm of Gailor, Wallis and Hunt reports information on marriage and divorce rates for North Carolinians and present solutions to for make marriages work.

Spring is in the air, which means the wedding season is upon us. While couples are happily planning dinners and parties in celebration of their true love found at last, they must also plan for the future. In an age where second and third marriages are almost as common as first nuptials, protecting one’s assets is a common thought.

According to a study conducted by the Pew Research Center, an independent source for information on the issues, attitudes and trends shaping the US and world, about half of North Carolina’s adult citizens are married. More precisely, 54 percent of NC men and 49 percent of NC women are married. The divorced population rests at 9 percent for men and 11 percent for women, qualifying the fact that second and third, or even forth and fifth marriages happen and are rising in occurrence. The same study shows that 6 percent of men and 5 percent of women in North Carolina are on their third or fourth marriage. (Information is based on data from the 2008 American Community Survey by the US Census Bureau.)

As with all marriages, each party brings assets to the table. If either party in the relationship has children from a previous marriage or relationship, a part in a family business or any other asset that may need protection from an unfortunate separation, a premarital agreement is a safe and equitable way to insure against the loss of such properties.

Other factors that typically require the consideration of a prenuptial agreement include the ownership of real estate, having over $50,000 worth of assets other than real estate, earning more than $100,000 a year and planning to pursue advanced education while the other spouse supports the union.

Prenuptial agreements can include issues such as retirement benefits, nonresponsibility of the other person’s debts, alimony, household bills, credit card charges, procedures for filing tax returns and even estate planning issues, such as providing for children from prior relationships.

This protection can provide comfort to both parties, helping each to know that, in the event of a separation or divorce, each party is protected. Discussing a prenuptial agreement with your soon-to-be spouse can help to clarify issues that may be trickier later. It may even help qualify the need to keep a marriage strong, reminding the parties that a marriage is a partnership, to be regarded seriously, with binding contracts. It is something to be nurtured, grown and groomed to succeed. 

In a 2007 survey conducted by the Pew Research Center titled Modern Marriage, Americans reported the issues they thought were most important to making a marriage succeed. Third on the list, in order of importance, was sharing household chores. According to the results, 62 percent of adults stated that sharing chores is an important contributor to a successful marriage. It’s also on the heels of the second most important factor (according to the survey), a happy sexual relationship. The number one factor to a successful marriage was faithfulness.

Following the top three, in order of importance, were adequate income, good housing, shared religious beliefs, shared tastes and interests, children and agreement on politics.

 So if you’re one of the lucky-in-love couples planning to get married this spring, or any time in the future for that matter; looking into the marriage statistics may help you prepare for what is to come. While you may feel positive your union will last forever, be aware that approximately 50 percent of first marriages end in divorce. With the median age for North Carolina couples marrying at 27 for men and 26 for women, it is understandable to not waste one’s youth on divorce battles.

So while you are planning guest seating and bar offerings, odds are that you should also see a family law attorney well versed in the nuances of premarital, pre-union and post marital arrangements. Be young, happy and in love, but be smart and know that not protecting yourself now could lead to your losses later. 

The family law office of Gailor, Wallis & Hunt can help you prepare your prenupyial agreement so that in the case of a divorce, your assets will be protected and the dissolution of marriage, should it occur can be as non-adversarial as possible. The highly respected attorneys of Gailo

r, Wallis and Hunt have dedicated their lives to helping couples plan for, and preserve their marriage and family, but are also dedicated to assisting them obtain a fair and equitable divorce when that is the only alternative.

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.

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.

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.

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.”
