Considering Divorce?

Consider Mediation. Consider Peace.

Most couples don’t enter marriage expecting it to end. We hope for joy, commitment, and a bond that lasts a lifetime. But life is unpredictable—and relationships are complex. Especially in second or third marriages, the odds of divorce increase significantly:

  • 43% of first marriages end in divorce

  • 60% of second marriages

  • 73% of third marriages

These numbers don’t mean your marriage will fail. But they do suggest that planning for the unexpected—through honest conversations and even prenuptial agreements—can be wise.

Marriage Is a Lifelong Conversation

Strong marriages are built on communication, kindness, and resilience. Couples who thrive learn to mediate throughout their relationship—working together to solve problems, practicing forgiveness, and treating each other with respect. That’s the ideal: a loving, collaborative partnership.

But when communication breaks down, when kindness fades, and when forgiveness feels impossible, divorce may become not just a possibility—but a necessary path forward.

Divorce Doesn’t Have to Be a Battle

Divorce is never easy. It carries emotional, financial, and legal weight. The traditional court process can be slow, expensive, and traumatic—especially for families with children. That’s why I created Modern Divorce Mediation. After 36 years as a Chancellor in Mississippi, presiding over thousands of divorce and custody cases, I saw the toll litigation takes. I’ve lived it personally, too. And I knew there had to be a better way.

A Peaceful Path Forward

If your marriage is struggling, your first goal should be healing. Reconciliation is always worth pursuing.

But if you’ve tried everything and still find yourself stuck in conflict, it may be time to choose a different path:

  • Stop the fighting

  • Stop the arguing—especially in front of your children

  • Create a more peaceful, respectful environment for your family

  • Choose dignity

  • Choose peace

  • Choose Modern Divorce Mediation

If you’ve tried everything but still feel that it’s time to go your separate ways, schedule your initial consultation with Modern Divorce Mediation, and start your journey to peace today.
