Disagreement about finances can lead to divorce as debt is a marriage killer.

I see it frequently–couples fighting over financial problems;–sometimes in front of me in my office. One of the leading causes of divorce is the strain between couples caused by money issues.

In these troubled times, more and more families are facing overwhelming debt. Whether caused by loss of a job, poor money management, reduced income, or increased expenses, financial pressures seem to be at an all time high.

The stress of fighting over bills and money can take its toll on the marriage, straining couples to the brink of disaster. Most marital aruments are over financial issues. Many divorces are the result of stress and constant fighting over lack of money.

Although there are many elements to a healthy marriage, statistics show that divorce occurs more often due to financial troubles than any other issue, including a spouse’s infidelity, health problems, and couples “growing apart.”

Financial stress can quickly build to a marriage’s breaking point. But if you could save your marriage, wouldn’t you?

Bankruptcy can rescue a marriage. For those who qualify for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing, the bankruptcy will eliminate credit card debt, medical debt, and loans, extinguishing major sources of marital strife.

Many of my clients have confided in me after the bankruptcy proceeding was concluded that I rescued their marriage.

Couples with excessive debt must understand that filing for bankruptcy relief is an option that may work to save the marriage.

Financial stress is overwhelming but divorce is infinitely worst. Seeking relief under the bankruptcy laws is a way to regain control over both your marriage and your finances.
