Does Cohabitation Increase The Risk Of Divorce?
Most experienced divorce attorneys in Wellington and West Palm Beach would answer the above question with: "yes". However, the studies dealing with this issue are split. Some say "yes" and some say "no". Some marital and family lawyers may argue the contrary argument and assert that cohabiting permits young people to get to know their potential mates and evaluate compatibility before they commit to marriage. However, I have never been in a group of divorce lawyers or lay people who agreed unanimously on any issue, and the same would be true here. Other legal counselors could argue that cohabitators would place less value on the traditional concept of "til death do us part". In addition, cohabiting allows a couple to slowly evolve into a marital relationship that they would not have chosen if they were forced to make a thoughtful decision instead of sliding into marriage. In this case, both sides appear to be correct in that the studies on this issue have not provided a definitive answer to the question. In a way, when I look at this issue and the conflicting results of the studies dealing with it, I feel like I am back during my first year of law school where there was no clear cut answer for any question.
