#8: Summary of Research

After researching the many articles and videos for this topic I found a lot of new perspectives on divorce. Knowing there are new outlets for kids and parents to confront this weird change is comforting to me. I myself am going through a similar situation with my family right now and I found many of the things I looked up to be very helpful. Divorce has become a regular thing in society, its nice to know social media is becoming accepting of it. I think researching this has helped me become okay with divorce and the change that comes with it because it's for the better. Change might be scary at first but could have a better outcome for all. It was important for me to research this topic because it gave me a better perspective on divorce and what comes with it. 

#7- Kids Talk About marriage and Divorce

I found this video while scrolling through the internet and thought it was so interesting because its just kids sitting down talking about how they feel about marriage and divorce. No influence from parents just them being honest about their parents and their different situations. One girl talks about her parents and what marriage means to her, she says the key is to be "true to one another" which I thought was so sweet and inspirational. Another girl talks about her Mom who was remarried, she expresses how she sometimes feels its her fault that her parents don't get along even though she knows that's not really true. I can relate, my parents are going through a divorce and its hard even for me not to feel responsible for whats happening and i'm 18 years old.

#6-The Grounds to Divorce

In New Jersey there are nine reasons that you can divorce someone. I find some of these grounds very interesting. For example, you can divorce someone if  your spouse was sentenced to go to jail for 18 or more consecutive months after marriage. Another one is you can divorce someone if they have a drug or alcohol problem. Some of these are very helpful to people who live with am abusive husband or wife and could probably speed up the divorce trial knowing what the exact problem is.
